There is a difference between your iPad's internal memory and iCloud. As mentioned, iCloud is only for backup - it will not expand the memory on your iPad.


You can see what is taking up space on your iPad here:

Settings General iPad Storage

Try Clearing "Other" Storage:

"Other" is all "junk" (as we'd commonly say) from installed apps (i.e. caches). So, to fix this, first backup* your iPad and then restore** it from the backup. See where things go from there.
