Not enough space for Music DB. Please free 200 mb

I get this message when I try to sync to the external memory chip. It empty and 8GB but I only get the message with the external and NOT the internal…

Hello!
Just got my Sansa Clip Zip, updated firmware to 01.01.17 and everything was fine. Then I loaded music using my Mac, and when I got “not enough space” message I disconnected my player.

Now when I’m trying to switch my player on, I get “Not enough space for Music DB. Please free 200 mb” and it turns off. Neither Mac or Windows can’t detect player as a device so I can’t remove songs or format the drive (I tried at least 4 different laptops). Pushing “power” button for 20-60 seconds didn’t help.

Please help, how can I reset/reformat it?
