Step 3: Permanently Delete Apps
If you have decided that you no longer need the app and want to free up space on your iPad, you can permanently delete it from the Recently Deleted folder. Here’s how:
1. Open the Recently Deleted folder as described in Step 1.
2. Tap and hold the app icon you want to delete.
3. Select “Delete App” from the menu that appears.
