Is there a way to find out how much in the way of gigabytes/terabytes, I own in movies and tv shows on my ipad?

For the majority of media Apps on your iPad or iPhone, movies (or other digital media) that you download to your iPad are very rarely also stored in iCloud - the download being local to your iPad.
Given that high quality movies and other downloaded video material often consume multi-gigabytes of data, duplicating this data in iCloud would rapidly saturate your available iCloud storage quota - the basic "free" allocation being just 5GB. While you can subscribe to additional iCloud+ storage plans (50GB, 200GB or more), this storage would not be economically utilised by duplicating this media. Instead of storing this media in iCloud, you can simply download it again to view offline should the need arise.
Don't forget, in purchasing movies and other digital media, your "purchase" is merely a licence to download/view the material while it remains available; you never actually "own" the download.
As already indicated by Allan Jones, you can determine how much of your local iPad storage is used by each of your installed Apps from iPad settings:
Settings > General > iPad Storage
I want to know the amount of bytes/gigabytes/terabytes all of the movies/tv shows purchased from apple amount to.
Why?
Because I dont know the amount
And what exactly do you intend to do with that information? You can’t alter it in any way. Its not taking up space on your iPad.
THank you!
Amount of bytes in movies owned
