In this article, we’ll walk you through the steps to delete books from your iPad, ensuring you can easily manage your library and storage space. Let’s get started!
Step 1: Open the iBooks App
The first step in deleting books from your iPad is to open the iBooks app. If you don’t have the iBooks app installed, you can download it for free from the App Store. Once the app is open, you’ll see a list of all the books you have on your device.

Step 3: Delete the Book
With the book open, you’ll see a series of options at the top of the screen. To delete the book, tap on the “i” icon, which will display more information about the book. From the menu that appears, select “Delete Book.”
Step 4: Confirm the Deletion
A confirmation message will appear, asking if you’re sure you want to delete the book. Tap “Delete” to confirm, and the book will be removed from your iPad.

2. Tap the “Library” button at the bottom of the screen.
3. Tap the “Edit” button in the upper-right corner of the screen.
4. Select the book you want to delete by tapping the “x” icon next to it.
5. Tap “Delete” to confirm the deletion.
Step 6: Delete Books from iCloud
If you have purchased books from the iBooks Store and have enabled iCloud, you can also delete books from your iPad by removing them from your iCloud library. To do this:
1. Open the Settings app on your iPad.
2. Tap your name at the top of the screen.
3. Tap “iCloud.”
4. Scroll down and tap “iBooks.”
5. Toggle off the switch next to “iBooks” to disable iCloud syncing for books.
