Your internal and iCloud storage are entirely independent of each other. Subscribing to a higher tier of iCloud Storage does not change the amount of internal storage within your iPad - this being fixed for the life of the iPad.


If your internal storage is full, your only option is to better manage the storage that you have - and delete unused Apps or unneeded data.
