From time to time, the only way to fix a problem with iOS is to use the “Reset All Settings” option. That should only erase your data on your iDevice. However, there’s a bug in iOS 8 that not only nukes your data on your iDevice, but on iCloud Drive too. Macrumors.com has the details:
In our own testing, using “Reset All Settings” deleted all iWork documents stored in iCloud Drive on the iPhone and on iCloud.com. After allowing time for syncing to a Mac running OS X Yosemite, all of the documents disappeared from that machine as well. Preview and TextEdit documents, which cannot be accessed on the iPhone, remained untouched on the Mac.
Now apparently, Apple is looking at the issue. But this is the latest in a string of embarrassing issues related to iOS 8 and the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. You can bet that Apple employees are working overtime to fix this in a hurry.
