how do i delete ios 9.3.5 on my Ipad mini 1?
iPad mini, iOS 9
I’ll only use to watch YouTube, Hulu, games. However, since updating it I can not download the apps I need. And
the software before supported them. Is it just better to trade it in for a newer iPad.? I hate to get rid of it because it’s pretty much new no wear or tear and work great.

Yes,
Your 2012 iPad Mini will soon be 9-years old.
Apple ended support for all 8-10-year old iOS devices well over 4 years, ago, in 2016.
Third party app developers abandoned and stopped supporting these 8-10-year old iOS devices nearly 3 years, ago, in 2018.
There are, virtually, NO MORE third party apps available from the iOS App Store, any longer!
Third party compatible apps for such old devices are few and far between, now, in 2021.
This includes apps for both iOS 9 AND iOS 10 devices!
AND, that well over 4-year old default iOS Safari Web browser is too old, not secure and not safe to use to access the Internet, any longer.
There are virtually NO MORE third party Web browsers left for 8-10 year old iPads!
Available and more popular third party Web browser choices are pretty much GONE, now.
If you must use these old iPad models, here is what is left for still updated Web browsers.
Pickins’ are slim, now!
ALook Web browser ( A fairly new Web browser primarily designed for old iOS device versions, but is still available to newer iOS/iPadOS devices, as well )
Dolphin Web browser
Maxthon Web browser
TOR private browser
TOR + VPN private browser
Turbo VPN private browser
This is pretty much it for iOS 9/10 compatible, up to date, third party Web browsers today.
Simply put, your iPad Mini is too old and obsolete now.
Sorry, but this is the reality for ALL 8-10-year old AND OLDER iOS devices now. Especially now in 2021!
It's 2021 now!
If you need/want an iPad with an up to date iPadOS with access to current, updated apps, then you really need to seriously consider a purchase of a new iPad model OR a much, MUCH “newer” and less expensive, refurbished or used iPad models, from better known, trusted Apple product/device retailers/resellers, locally or online, on the Web/Internet, capable of running the latest iPadOS versions.
There are PLENTY of newer, older iPad models that can run the latest, current versions of iPadOS.
I am sorry that you had to learn all of this, but this does not change any of the facts regarding these very old iOS devices.
Sorry & Best of Luck to You!
Why would you want to delete the operating system? The iPad Mini cannot be updated to any newer system, it does not have the components necessary to run newer software.
You can’t.
What are you really trying to do with this old iPad?
