iPad Storage Full

I cannot use my iPad anymore, all the storage is used by Other and System files. I can fit a few apps on only, and that is all. How do I clear this a space? Thank you for any help!

The best way to resolve this is to backup your iPad --> Back up iPad - Apple Support


Then restore your iPad from backup --> Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support


I see your iPad has only 16GB total storage. That's woefully inadequate in today's world. Apple no longer sells ANY iPad with less than 64GB internal memory. You might want to give consideration to retiring your 2014 era iPad in favor of a newer, more modern device.
