Delete messages and photos from iPad without removing them from my phone

My iPad is low on space and can't download software updates. I only use it for web browsing and email. How can I free up space by getting rid of the photos and messages from the iPad without them disappearing from my iPhone and other devices? I've turned it off before and they keep re-appearing.


Please help, super annoying.

If the iPad is not listed in message forwarding, then messages are not being forwarded to the iPad. Only the devices listed receive forwarded messages.
