I have a spare old 4th Gen iPad I want to use for kitchen recipes /wifi only. How can I stop getting my messages/emails etc and remove most of the apps including photos without it affecting my current iPad Pro & iPhone.
I’m so frightened of deleting anything!
Also, do I need to create a new unique Apple ID for it?
Thank you in advance for any help 🙇🏼♀️

If you wish to stop email arriving on your old iPad, just delete the email accounts from the iPad; this will not impact your other devices:
Settings > Mail > Accounts > [Your email account] > Delete Account
You can prevent other services from synchronising documents and data via iCloud by disabling the services that you don’t want to synchronise from settings. Again, on your old iPad:
Settings > [Your Name / AppleID] > iCloud - turn OFF services that you don’t wish to synchronise via iCloud
You might even consider signing-out from iCloud entirely - or creating and using en entirely different AppleID account for your old iPad. If this is appealing, follow this process to completely wipe the iPad, after which you can set-up again “as new”:
