In an email sent to iOS app developers, Apple has notified that their iCloud libraries storing iTunes Match data will be deleted at 9AM PDT on Monday, September 26, 2011. The email sent to app developers reads “To continue to improve the overall quality and reliability of iTunes Match, it has become necessary to delete all current iCloud libraries.” The Cupertino based technology giant has earlier carried out a similar exercise on Thursday, September 22^nd when it deleted all iCloud backup data.

iCloud and iTunes services have been available for iPad and iPhone developers in beta versions for some time. Industry analysts and experts believe that the recent exercise from Apple may be the final preparations before making public its latest operation system, iOS 5. There are strong speculations that the iPhone maker may release iOS 5 next month in its scheduled October 4^th event.

There are also rumors that Apple is denying vacations for 2^nd week of October to its employee suggesting that it is planning to release its next generation iPhone 5 in that period. Interestingly, Twitter has also announced a developer session on October 10^th that is said to be focused on Twitter integration on iOS 5.
