Go to Settings/General/ Reset and tap on Erase All Content and Settings.

You’ll then be asked if you want to continue; after the confirmation, your iPad will reset and the Apple logo together with a loading bar will appear on screen.

Upon the start up, ALL Content, apps, music, photos, and personal account information will be erased from the iPad . And you’ll need to set up the device from scratch (choosing language, Apple ID, etc.).

If you have too much content on your iPad, restoring your backup may just put you right back where you started. You may end up with too much on the iPad again. On the other hand, erasing the device and the settings, might allow for a clean download of everything and it may clear up a little more space for you


What you should do is go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Manage Storage and see what the big storage hogs are that are taking up all of the space on your iPad. You can tap on an item or an app and then delete it in the next screen if you choose to do so. Songs, albums, movies, TV shows, can take up a fair amount of storage and maybe simply removing a movie will give you back a decent amount of space.
