If you have a game on your iPhone that you want to start over — maybe because you messed up, or maybe because you love it so much that you want to play it again — your first instinct is probably to delete it and redownload it from the App Store.

If you have iCloud turned on, though, it's not that easy — iCloud can remember your saved data for the game even after you delete the app.

The good news is, though, there's still a way you can start your game fresh again — you just have to delete the game's data from iCloud itself.
