Trying to install the iOS15 public beta on an old iPad mini 4 I have sitting around. Only issue is that it has 16gb of storage and the system takes up most of that. Oddly, even if I erase everything and get down to 6gb free, I still cannot install. I've downloaded and installed the correct profile, and the iPad actually does download the 4.48gb install file, it just won't install telling me I don't have enough free space.

I know you can install older versions over iTunes, but I am unsure if the public beta images are available for download like this. Any advice?
 
You’d need to get the IPSW, and the public beta doesn’t have those available, officially.
