How do I delete application (game) data?

Hi, I have an iPhone 6, iOS 8.2. I want to delete data from a game so that the game can be started from scratch. I have tried every possible way to do this that I have found through online searches including:

• Deleting iCloud Backup
• Deleting the Game App and Data
• Deleting the game in Game Center
• various combinations of the above

When I go to the App store, it has the 'download from cloud' icon so I am assuming the data is somehow being stored their?

Any help would be appreciated.

App data is not stored in the app store; only the game is. If game data is stored on the phone only then deleting the app, rebooting the phone, and downloading the app will clear it. If game data is stored on the game developer's server then you will have to ask the game developer how to clear it, or create a new user ID for the game.

It sounds like the App data is stored on the Apps servers.

If the app uses you Game Center account you will need a new one.

While the iCloud backup can store app data,

To get that app data back you would have to restore from the iCloud backup.
