iPad storage insufficient to download iOS 27.2 update

I have an iPad with 64gb of space.


i have to delete so many apps and data/documents to download the latest IOS27.2 update. I have enabled the Offload Unused Apps function but it is not enough.


can I do a restart after I have downloaded the update for 27.2. I am desperate.
