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.

I have done this. I have deleted all high use apps photos, and have kept only the basic apps. I have not just disabled these apps I have removed them. I removed all of the photos from iCloud as well. The iPad is not taking up the space nor is the cloud.

Go to Settings>General>Phone Storage. How much of your storage is being used? What is taking up the space?

That is how much iCloud storage you are using, no iOS device has 2TB of storage. Try what IdrisSeabright suggested again. Something on your iPad is taking up all of the storage.
