You will find a summary of your iPad's local storage usage in iPad settings:
Settings > General > iPad Storage
Here you will see a graphic that shows a breakdown of how your iPad storage is being used. Below the graphic you will see a list of individual Apps - ranked by how much local storage is being used by each App.
It is generally recommended that you maintain 4-6GB of free space at all times - as your iPad needs some temporary space to complete some tasks - such as performing system software updates.
If your internal storage is full, or is insufficient for the task that you need to perform, your only option is to better manage the storage that you have - and delete unused Apps or unneeded data.Â

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, youâll need an Apple Lightning to USB3 Camera Adapter:
