Is there a trash or something to empty when you delete on the ipad 2? I have a 64gb and it keeps telling me my memory is full. I have deleted almost everything except the movies and shows in my itunes account.
iPad 2, iOS 4.3.1
There's no Trash Can or Recycle Bin like on a computer.
How much space is Other using? You may be able to reduce.
How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

PS Any reason you haven't updated your iOS to the most current version 6.1.2?
The only reason I haven't updated is because I wasn't sure how. The ONLY thing on this ipad is the movies and tv shows in the itunes account. There are no documents or anything else that can't be reinstalled. It is mainly used for my granddaughter and travel entertainment for her. I use it to check email and search things, but nothing important. So I need to hook the ipad up to the computer and the movies will sync to the itunes on the computer and then I can update it??? Is that correct? (Sometimes I feel computer illiterate, sorry, I just don't want to mess it up)
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

Movies take a lot of space. You should delete one or more. Deleting a movie is the first place to look for more free space.
