How to easily delete Health data from iPad?

I have a lot of watches and iPhones as source for the health app (only on my iPad) . Is there an easier way to get rid of all the health data on my iPad? Erase each record is a lot of work.

Already set off iCloud . It is more than 1 GB of data

I want to remove health data from my iPad only; not from iCloud or any other device. I’m just trying to free space for the OS update. I don’t care what AI says—I can find that myself. Is there a human who has successfully done this without losing data on other devices?


I'm guessing that you first go into Settings on your iPad, and turn OFF iCloud synchronization for Health data.


Then, once the iPad is no longer synchronizing Health data changes to iCloud, you could delete all of the local Health data on the iPad by following directions in Manage Health data on your iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch - Apple Support .


It would be crucial to shut off synchronization first – "If your Health data syncs over iCloud, deleting data on one device removes it from all synced devices connected to the same iCloud account."
