Voice Memos is a handy app for recording quick notes, interviews, lectures, or any audio you need to capture on the go. However, as time passes, your iPad can become cluttered with numerous recordings, many of which you might no longer need.
Permanently deleting these voice memos can help free up storage space and keep your device organized. While deleting a voice memo from the app might seem straightforward, ensuring it’s permanently removed from your iPad and not just sent to the “Recently Deleted” folder requires a few extra steps.
This guide will walk you through the detailed process of permanently deleting voice memos from your iPad.
