Storage on iPad mini 2

Uh, YEAH!

For iOS to work at a normal, nominal level of performance, an iOS device needs to maintain, at the absolute minimum 2-3 GBs of free internal data storage space.

You have reached that limit.

And you won't be able to download any large data file, like movies until you free up quite a bit more additional free data storage space, like at least get that iPad back to around about 6-7 GBs!

What is the storage size of your iPad Mini 2?

If you need to free up free data storage space on an iPad/iDevice, you need to start by backing up your iPad to either Apple's  iCloud or by connecting your iDevice to a computer running the latest iTunes or some other offsite, “cloud” data storage service, like Google Drive/Photos, DropBox, Box, etc.

Then delete any installed apps that you no longer use or use infrequently enough that they aren't missed (you can always reinstalled any purchased or free apps at some time later, as you need them).

Thin out/delete any music/videos/movies/TV shows/ photo images/eBooks/eMagazine/iBooks/audio books/Documents/PDFs, etc.

If you use a POP email account on your iPad, delete/thin out  any old saved emails that maybe saved to your iPad.

To permanently delete photos/images off of your iDevice go into the Photos app and find the Recently Deleted folder/album and permanently delete any photos/images stored in that folder/album.

Also, you can check to see what stuff is eating up all your valuable data storage space by going into the Settings App,,General Settings Panel, in the right hand column, tap Storage & iCloud usage panel ( in iOS 11, it’s iPad Storage ), in the top Storage Panel, tap the Manage Storage  panel, wait for a list of apps to generate that will tell you how much space each app is taking up on your iDevice. 

Then, do a hard reset of your iPad by holding down both the Home and sleep/wake buttons simultaneously until your iPad goes to black and restarts with Apple logo, then release the buttons.

Best of Luck to You!
