While at cruise altitude; I opened the company issued iPad and selected the [normal] icon. The iPad displayed the usual [company] logo but did not continue to the menu. After several tries; I shut down the iPad and restarted it. After the iPad re-booted; I again selected the [normal] icon. [The menu] did open but I found that all material was deleted. Under all menu selections; 'No Content' was displayed. We reverted to single iPad procedures as per the FOM. All other information on the iPad and other applications are operating normally. I notified the [Duty Manager] via ACARS of the inflight failure of my iPad and that I would need a replacement iPad for my next flight; as per FOM. The Dispatcher responded via ACARS with an authorization to operate inflight with a single iPad.
A320 Captain discovers his iPad database containing charts and other necessary in flight information to be deleted. The flight continues to destination using the remaining iPad; where the faulty iPad is replaced.
