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.

“Offloading” Apps can be a helpful method of creating temporary space for a software update.

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:

Hello,


the others section is filled with data such as siri voices, browsing data, etc. the first thing you could try is clearing your cache from safari by going to settings --> Safari --> and scroll down to clear website data.


if you need to get rid of more storage, I recommend looking at this website. https://www.macworld.com/article/232651/iphone-other-storage-what-is-it-and-how-do-you-delete-it.html


Hope this helps!
