I have an 32GB iPad 4. Software fully up to date at 10.3.3. Storage reads used 22.69GB, Available 5.83GB. In "Manage Storage" total of apps (photos&camera reads only 474.8MB), is only 5.4GB. My question is, apart from the IOS software which is no more than 2GB, what is using the remaining (22.69+5.83)-5.4=23.12GB??? (assuming 2GB for IOS, then over 21GB is unaccounted for?
Can anyone advise how I recover this lost storage??.
Thanks

No, to all the above. I have however, sorted the problem. I read a item that suggested connecting to iTunes, which I did. The storage information showed 12.96GB of videos, which the iPad did not show. My iPad storage for photos was only 350MB. I checked my Apple Video app and my Prime Video app, but neither showed any storage. So, although not showing any storage, I deleted both apps. Now the storage is reading used 8.97GB, which is about right and 19.55GB available. So, there was a hidden 12.69 GB of video, but it was not displayed anywhere on the iPad. I have reloaded the app and all is well. A possible explanation is that at least 3 deleted videos were not deleted from memory, but only the registry details were deleted from the library of storage data.????
Thanks for your reply. Hopefully, this saga may help others.

You have any data stored in apps?
Do you have photos/images stored in any other apps?
Do you have any Music, books/iBooks/eMagazines stored on that iPad?
