So, I own a 32GB storage iPad. It says that I have 31.5GB of storage filled up, but I counted everything in my storage, added it up, and it only was roughly 15GB. I’m wondering why it says my storage is full, though it isn’t. I’m confused on how to fix this problem. Is this happening to any other people?
iPad, iPadOS 14
Actually,
A 32 GBs storage iPad starts out with approx 30 GBs.,after initial internal flash drive formatting.
Minus approx. 6.5 GBs for iOS/iPadOS leaves between 23-24 GBs.
Minus 3-6GBs, 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 18-20 GBs of actual, usable data storage space.
You have 5 GBs or stoage being used elswhere, too!
Even with 20 GBs of actual, usable internal data storage space in an Apple iOS/iPadOS device,
a 32 GBs data storage devices are, now, more quickly, becoming the “new” low storage 16 GBs internal data storage space devices, today, a 32 GBs Apple iOS/iPadOS device has 3-4 times the internal data storage space of older base model, low internal data storage,16 GBs. internal data storage Apple iOS/iPadOS devices.
In reality and in use, in 2022, a 32 GBs internal data storage device is kind of a joke and of limited usefulness, when up to 2TB of internal data storage ( approx. 1.8 TBs or usable internal data storage ) portable tablet devices exist today.
Apple put an end to 32 GBs devices, in September 2021, with the base model iPad now offering 64 GBs of internal data storage ( approx. 50 GBs of actual, usable internal data storage ), which, for a few more years, anyways, has enough storage to make an iPad useful for longer period of time before data storage fills up.
Purchasing a low storage Apple device, to save on the cost of the device, is a false economy.
Sorry.

Did you include the iPadOS and the System Data at the bottom of the iPad storage screen? A 32GB iPad only has about 27 or 28GB of useable storage space out of the box. The pre installed apps and the iOS take up space.
Yes, I included the System Data with the math.
Oh wow, thank you a lot! You must know a lot about this. Thanks for the info
Why Does My Storage Say It’s Full?
