I want to clean up my ipad because I’m running out of space. What is the easiest way to transfer files from the ipad so I can delete them. I do not want to use icloud as my only storage.

This support page outlines the natively supported backup methods for iPad and iPhone:
How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
Native iOS/iPadOS backup and restore processes are dependent upon iCloud, or connection to either Windows PC (with iTunes for Windows installed) or a Mac (with iTunes or Finder - as appropriate for the installed version of macOS).
Natively supported methods offer full system backup - consisting of data and device settings.
How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
It is possible however to use a third-party App to backup data (but not device settings) to a variety of external storage options - including third-party Cloud services, external media devices and network storage. One App that comes readily to mind is FileBrowser Professional by Stratospherix:
