Why is it when I delete or store apps I still get a message saying storage is full I tried everything and it still is full if I delete any more apps I will not have any left

Why is it when I delete or store apps to free up space on my ipad I keep getting notifications that my storage is full if I delete any more apps I will have none left

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.

External storage options can often help with managing limited internal storage. Depending upon your iPad model, the iPad will either have a Lightning or USB-C port - and may therefore require either an Adapter or USB hub to connect the USB Storage device. If your iPad has a Lightning port, you’ll need an Apple Lightning to USB3 Camera Adapter:
