You don’t have enough space on the device itself. That is where you need to free up space. Buying all of the iCloud storage on earth won’t change that. You can’t use iCloud to store content and then delete that content from the device. That’s not how it works. You can delete everything in iCloud and it still won’t help.


Free up some space on your iPad then you will be able to download an update apps again. Check the storage on your iPad.
