Q: how to create more space on ipad so I can download movies

Hey DSJ54,

Thanks for the question. If your device is near its capacity, you can remove some of the less used content to make room for more. To do so, navigate to Settings > General > Usage. Depending on the app, you may be able to delete some of the app's content, or delete the app and its content.

Note that backing up your device will not free up storage. However, definitely back up before removing information in case you wish to return to the backup state. For more information, see this resource:
