Cleaning up the iPad

As the iPads are shared devices, it is imperative that teachers and students remove all work when they have completed a project. This will improve the performance of the device, help conserve battery life, and help users to manage files and projects more efficiently. When completed, users should remove their own files and projects. The video to the right provides examples of removing Do Ink Green Screen and iMovie projects as well as removing old photos and videos from the Photos app. The process for other apps might vary slightly from these methods.

  1. Remove projects from used apps, e.g. Do Ink, iMovie, etc.
  2. In Photos, select desired files then click the trash can.

NOTE: if you remove items in the Photo app first, you will be prompted with do you want to look for missing files, or something similar, in each project that you open. Save deleting photos and videos for the last step.
