That said, I have no idea what you're talking about. Resetting the settings on your iPad will not erase data stored in iCloud.

Jan 1, 2015 5:45 AM in response to Fiscalistby Matt Clifton,LIfehacker is not a reliable authority - they tend to release kneejerk articles if one author has an issue with a feature, and the articles are not updated with accurate information. Erasing an iOS device will not wipe ICloud Drive - but feel free to use the chat feature on the Apple support site to get confirmation from Apple directly.
