I've been struggling with my iPad's slow performance lately, and I'm wondering if clearing out the cache might be the solution. I've tried closing apps and restarting my device, but the issue persists. Is there a simple way to clear the cache on an iPad? I've searched online, but I couldn't find any straightforward instructions that apply to my iPad model (iPad Air 3). I'm not tech-savvy at all, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Clearing cache on an iPad is a straightforward process that can greatly improve its performance. To start, go to the Settings app and select “General”. From there, tap on “iPhone Storage” and choose “Manage Storage.” This will show you a list of apps on your device, along with their storage usage. Select an app you want to clear cache for and choose “Off Load App.” This will remove the cache and other temporary files associated with that app. Alternatively, if you prefer a more visual approach, go to the Settings app, select “General,” then tap on “Storage & iCloud Usage.” From here, choose an option to free up space by deleting files or offloading apps. This will automatically clear cache and other unnecessary files from your device. Another way to clear iPad cache is to use the built-in Cleanup feature in iOS 11 and later versions. To access it, go to Settings – General – iPhone Storage, then select an app that you want to clear cache for. Tap the “Edit” button next to it and choose “Off Load App.” You can also delete files from your iPad's file system using the Files app or a third-party file manager app. To do this, go to Settings – General – iPhone Storage, then select an app that you want to clear cache for and tap on it. Choose “Storage Management” and look for files with .tmp or .dat extensions. Tap on these files and choose “Delete.”
