How do I delete media from my iPad 2?
My iPad is showing that I have over 20GB of media loaded, but I can’t figure out where it is and how to delete it once found.

Good afternoon, Mark!
I’ve had an opportunity to read your post, and if I understand, you’ve got quite a bit of storage (20 GB, to be exact) allocated to Media on your iPad, but you’re not sure where this media is, or how to get rid of it. Being able to manage your storage is definitely important, and I’m happy to help make sure you can!
First, check out Delete music, movies, and TV shows from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support. This will help you locate and delete media you may have downloaded to your device from the iTunes and App Store, or have synced from iTunes on a computer.
You can also use Manage your photo and video storage - Apple Support for help with media you’ve created, pictures and videos taken with the camera on your iPad, that you’ve downloaded from a message, or from the internet.
I would also suggest checking for attachments in Messages (these are pictures, video, and other content sent and received through the app), which you can do with the “Find attachments from a conversation” section of Use Messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support.
Cheers!
