For future reference there is a way to remove an iOS upgrade/update so it can't be downloaded at all.


Go into the Settings App, General Settings panel.

In the right hand column, tap Storage ( and iCloud Usage, if still using iOS 9 or 10 ).

At the top in the first block of 3 panels where it is titled at the top of this block Storage, tap the panel that says Manage Storage.

A list of every app will generate itself.

Once this list stops generating, look through this list until you see something like iOS 10/11.x.x in this list.

Tap on the gray disclosure arrow at the far right on that iOS 10/11.x.x panel.

It will bring you to another screen that will allow you to completely delete/remove the entire iOS upgrade/update.


Then try the iOS Software Update function again to see if it offers your iPad the recent iOS 12 version.



Good Luck to You!
