Thank you for taking time to reply. Not sure what gen ipad it is, but much newer than another family member's which updated fine. With some help, we figured out youtube was taking an unusual amount of storage. So I deleted youtube (not offload), and the update is going fine so far. I must have some setting in youtube which is saving "stuff," and I'll check that out when the update finishes. Thanks again.

Try this.  After deleting apps, photos and messages I still wasn’t able to upgrade to iPadOS Version 17.2…but this did work for me. Plug the iPad into your computer.  Open the iPad and “Trust” the computer.  On you computer open Finder and on the left side under Locations select the iPad.  “Trust” the iPad.  Follow the prompts to update your iPad.
