Unable to update to the beta version of iPadOS26.

I tried to update to the currently released beta version of iPad OS26, but I can't seem to update due to lack of storage space on my iPad. Is there any other way to update besides freeing up space?

Model: iPad 8 Storage: 18GB/32GB

I would appreciate it if anyone has any information on how to free up storage space in order to update to iPad OS26.

Same here on the same device I just bought refurbished to test the lowest spec ipad for the new OS. Deletd every app thaat it would allow and still about 3-400 mb short.I wonder if there is a way to flush the 2.8GB of system data (shown at the bottom ipad storage ) to free up space?
