Storage full

My iPad keeps showing that my storage is full. It shows I’m using 177 GB of 256 GB. I have reset it a couple of times and it still shows the same thing. What can I do to fix that?

iPad Air 3, 15

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.
