My MacPro is now 6 years old and the latest OS is Monterey. I have auto-updates but, even with a manual update, I can't get Ventura OS to install. I've reduce a number of files and folders, emptied trash, etc., to increase space but that has made no difference. Any advice? Thanks.

I've followed instructions to reduce files and folders, including Trash, Applications, etc. I've run the upgrade to Ventura OS several times. Each time I check after the upgrade, it's still the Monterey OS.
Exactly what model Mac do you have?
The 2013 Mac Pro (trash can Mac) is a cylinder. It can't run anything higher than Monterey. The next model came out in 2019. That can run Ventura.
One is significantly less than 6 years old, the other is 10 years old (though I suppose you could have purchased it 6 years ago)
The 2017 MacBookPro can run Ventura.
If that is what you meant, what, exactly happens when you attempt to update? How much free space do you have on the drive?
Are you getting an error saying you don't have enough free space? If not, why are you trying to free up space?
And yes, it should be compatible with Ventura.
The first thing I'd try is deleting the installer, empty the trash, then reboot and re-download it.
