Clearing system data on an iPad can be tricky as iOS does not provide a straightforward "clear system data" button. However, there are several methods you can try to reduce it effectively:

• Offload Unused Apps: Go to Settings > General > iPad Storage. Here you can enable "Offload Unused Apps" or manually offload apps to clear their cache without deleting important data.
• Clear Safari Cache: If Safari's data is bloating system storage, go to Settings > Safari and tap on "Clear History and Website Data".
• Reset All Settings: This won't delete any apps or personal data but will reset system settings like Wi-Fi passwords and wallpaper. Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings.
• Update iOS: Sometimes, a new iOS update can help manage system data better. Go to Settings > General > Software Update and install any available update.
• Factory Reset iPad: As a last resort, backing up your iPad and performing a factory reset can significantly clear system data. Head to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. Ensure you back up all important files beforehand.

Follow these steps to free up space taken by unnecessary system data, thus improving your iPad's performance.
