  Offload App: This removes the app from your iPad, but retains the Documents & Data associated with the app. Choosing to Offload App effectively clears the cache. Once you've offloaded it, you can reinstall a clean, fresh copy of the app that still has your data.
  I might try this option first, offload rather than delete the app.

    Hmm interesting. Given my Documents and Data says 15GB, it almost sounds like the first sentence contradicts the second sentence…that it would only keep the 15GB (which would include the cache).
    
    I’ve signed in with Facebook, so I’m hoping that it has successfully saved my city anyway, but I might try this option first and see if it works. Thank you.
