Space problems with iPad Air2

It seems that my iPad is out of space. If I try to manage the space I find that about 4 GB are occupied by "other". I've been told that they are old files that can be deleted, but I don't know how to do it. Can anybody help me?

iPad Air 2, iPadOS 14

If your internal storage is full, your only option is to better manage the storage that you have - and delete unused Apps or unneeded data.

“Offloading” Apps can be a helpful method of creating temporary space for the software update.
