The best method is to update through iTunes on your Mac or PC. Or after backing up, choose some data to delete or move like videos, pictures and music to gain more space. Besides, what you can also do is to ask some deep cleaning tool for help like Macgo iPhone Cleaner for Mac which can sweep away the photo caches, download caches, SMS, iMessage and email caches, etc to release more storage space. It can help you complete the iOS 8 update.

Well, to make room for iOS 8 update, you can follow the easy steps below.

1. Make sure you have a backup for your iPad 2. If not, backup via iTunes or iCloud.

2. Delete unwanted apps: tap any app on your iPad until all the apps wiggle. Click the X symbol on the upper left of the apps to delete it.

3. Delete photos, videos: go to video, photos app and delete the videos and photos in camera roll. Photos in Photo Library can be deleted by syncing a blank photo folder via iTunes.

4. Delete messages: go to messages app and delete the unwanted ones, especially the ones with large attachments.


If you wanna deep cleanup, you can try some third party tool, like SafeEraser, PhoneClean, and something like that.
