Storage is full?

Trying to help my sister. She said her iPad storage is full, so she deleted a bunch of apps and nothing changed in her storage. I told her to reboot but that didn’t change anything. What could be causing the problem?

iPad, iPadOS 13

If it's a matter of "other" storage (check the graphics coming from Settings>General>Ipad Storage), keeping in mind that the “other” storage category is mostly filled with cache and system files created by Safari, the Mail app, other apps and iOS itself, that space is automatically managed by iOS and you can’t interact with it.

That said, update your device to iOS 13.6.1 or later, then read this support article: Clear Other storage on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

If you already updated your device to iOS 13.6.1 or later to no avail, some benefits to reduce that space can be also obtained creating a full backup of your device, then restoring it to factory settings and, in the end, setting it up as new, as per these instructions: Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings – Apple Support

When done, restore data from your previously made backup, then restart your device and check your device storage again.
