permanently remove an app from iPad

I would like to permanently remove an app from my iPad along with all of it's date. I deleted the App, but when I downloaded it again, everything was still there. I want to start over again fresh with a blank slate for my granddaughter.

Hello Jules,

Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities. I understand you're having some trouble removing some unwanted app data from your iPhone, and I have some information that may help.

Have a look at the excerpt from the article below for some helpful information. If the app in question does not allow this method, it may help to reach out to the developer.

If you need more space for an iOS update - Apple Support

In the Usage Settings menu, you can see how much space your apps use and delete the ones you don't need. You can download your purchased apps or other content again later. Follow these steps:

Tap Settings > General > Storage & iCloud Usage > Manage Storage.

Select any app to see how much space it uses, and tap Delete App to remove it. Some apps, such as Music and Videos, let you delete parts of their documents and data.

Install the iOS update again. Tap Settings > General > Software Update.

You can also reduce the size of your Photo library by turning on iCloud Photo Library and Optimizing your device storage. Learn more about app storage space and content.

If you run into any trouble, please reach out again.
Best Regards.
