I had and still have the SAME PROBLEM, I had that problem before but I updated my iPad and it worked and got fixed. but now the problem came back again and there aren’t any software updatess to fix it, my storage wont go down after deleting some apps. I’m offloading an app with 7 GB of space but it shows no difference at all in my ipad storage. help, please.
Then it appears, then, you have completely filled up your iPad with data.
You never, EVER completely fill up ANY computer or computing device completely full of data.
If you need to free up free, internal data storage space on an iPad/iDevice, you need to start by backing up your iPad to either Apple's iCloud ( you may need to pay for additional, monthly storage space ) or by connecting your iDevice to a computer running the latest iTunes or, if a newer Mac with a much newer macOS, use the macOS Finder to do the device backup and/or some other offsite, “cloud” data storage/backup services, like Google Drive/Photos, BOX, DropBox, Amazon Cloud Drive, Flickr ( for photos/images ), 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).
In addition, uninstall any games that appear to be using a sizable chunk of your iPad's internal storage, as well!
Then, thin out/delete any music/videos/movies/TV shows/podcasts/screen recordings/photos-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 other 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 and later, it’s now called 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.
For much newer, larger screen iPad models, without a Home button, try the new hard reset procedure for the new 2018/2020 iPad Pro and iPad Air 4 models.
1. Press and release the volume UP button.
2. Then immediately press and release the Volume DOWN button.
3. Then, press and hold the sleep/wake/power button at the top. You will see the Slide to Power off button, but keep on holding down the power button until you see the Apple logo, then let it go.
Once you have performed all the steps, wait for a few seconds and your 2018 iPad Pro will boot up completely to the iPad Pro’s Lock screen.
ALL iOS/iPadOS devices need to maintain, at the very least, a minimum of between 3-6 GBs of free data storage space, AT ALL TIMES, to insure normal/nominal functionalities/operation and general overall performance of any iOS device running iOS/iPadOS.
Good Luck!

A little hard to help you when you provide NO information about your iPad.
Here are my questions to you.
What year and model iPad do you have/own?
The “A” model number can be found on the aluminium back of your iPad, in small print, right under the larger bold print “iPad”.
What iOS/iPadOS version is this iPad, currently, running?
What is the rated, internal data storage space/capacity of your iPad model and how much of this free, internal data storage capacity is left inside of your iPad model?
All of that additional info can be found in the Settings app, General settings panel, About.
I suspect you own an older, low storage 16 or 32 GB iPad model.
Please attempt to answer all questions asked.
Thank You.
That 60 GBs number is wrong and Not possible.
A 64 GBs storage iPad starts out with approx. 60 GBs.,after initial internal flash drive formatting.
Minus approx. 6.5 GBs for iOS/iPadOS leaves between 53-54 GBs.
Minus 3-6 GBs, for iOS/iPadOS system operational reserve, that MUST BE MAINTAINED AT ALL TIMES, to ensure/insure normal, expected operation of iOS/iPad OS, leaves approx. between 48-50 GBs of actual, usable data storage space.
If you actually have 57 GBs of free data storage left, your iPad is fine.
Ok I deleted it and then my storage changed, but it doesn’t work when I offload it sadly
It’s ipad Pro 2018 11 inch
its 64 Gb
I currently have 57 storage left, but it was like 60 at that time
ios 14.7.1
thank you
Shshshshshshs sorry, I meant that much storage is taken, I don’t have much left
Storage won’t go down after deleting some apps
