Memory issues

I have a 32gb iPad third generation

I had used up all the space on the memory with the larges contributor being photos/videos taking up 19gb

I backed all these up to one drive and then deleted all of them of the iPads memory

This only freed up what it said was about 6gb but I though that was alright no trouble but I just had a memory message pop back up and I checked the storage and it said that about 500mb were available and now it has gone down to 0 bytes.

The memory which the photos are taking up is only taking 300mb

I haven't downloaded anything onto the iPad and I backed the photos to the cloud so they aren't still on the device.

I haven't done a reset but I have restarted it but that didn't change anything

What is taking up the room and can I get rid of it? Thanks in advance

iPad 2, iOS 7.0.6

I just deleted the music which was half a gb and I got 3gb of space. I restarted the iPad again and that raised to 6.4 but it should have 20gb it may keep increasing over the day so it may be fine now.

How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch

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 5/6/7, 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.
