iPad mini Maintenance

[Electcon]

The iPad Mini is my first iDevice.

What should I do to maintain it?

A friend told me to hold both the lock and home button for 10 seconds to give it a "hard reboot" as he called it. I have done that once every week or two since he told me.

What else should I do? WHen I click on the home button twice it brings up a bunch of programs that I have used in the past, some that I haven't used for over a month. Should I get rid of those? Apparently they don't get cleaned out when doing a hard reboot. Are they actually running?

Any other maintenance advice?

Close the running apps every day .

No maintenance needed. The "hard reboot" is only for when the iPad locks up. And no, not all apps in the multi-task/recent apps tray are running. iOS closes recently run apps when needed. You can delete them from the multi-task bar if they bother you, but leaving them there won't affect system performance.

The whole point of iOS is you don't need to maintain it like you do with a desktop OS. Just relax and enjoy.
