„Other“ folder on the iPad

I can’t clear my storage, because the more I delete the bigger the „other“ folder gets. My apps are crashing in my lectures and my documents don’t save properly, because I have so little storage left. It seems like anything I delete isn’t properly removed and just ends up in the other folder. It’s at 11 GB now and my iPad only has 32 GB. I already removed my Fotos from the recently deleted folder, updated my iPad to the newest iPadOS 14.8 and restarted several times.

Please let me know if you have any ideas on how to fix this issue, thank you!

The only remedy to having too little space on your device is to identify and remove unwanted data. You may find these help pages offer some useful information and insight:

If, when looking at your own data storage usage, you see that the “other” category is consuming an disproportionate amount of space on your iPad, this support page may be helpful to you:

I hope this information and guidance proves to be helpful in resolving the issue.
