doesn&#8217;t have a traditional file system that allows you to easily locate your downloads. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But don&#8217;t worry, finding your <a

<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This app is pre-installed on all iPads and is used to manage your files and folders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you&#8217;re in the Files app, you can navigate to the Downloads folder to see all of your downloaded files. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From there, you can open, move, or delete your downloaded files as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65
