My iPad is full to capacity so I want to remove many photos to free up space but the device is too full even to show the photos - there are just white squares. I have also tried removing unnecessary Apps but still cannot free up space so I can see the photos to delete. Any ideas for solutions much appreciated!

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:
