I get the same message after having loaded songs from iTunes on my Mac. How do I reduce the 200mb?
Read this KnowledgeBase article. It’s usually not that the player is full:

Also, sometimes my Mac detects the player as a device, and sometimes it doesn’t.
It’s probably set to the infamous default Auto Defect mode. Change it to MSC mode in Settings > System Settings > USB Mode.
And why doesn’t it say “7.8 GB” rather than “8GB” so fewer of us have this problem?
Does any other manufacturer? No.
And how come the “manual” is so grossly insufficient to deal with any issue?
@All contingencies and situations cannot be anticipated or explained in a manual or it would be well over 100 pages long (example: Rockbox manual @160 pgs.). Most people don’t read the 10-20 page manual that is available now. That’s obvious as they come here to the forum and ask questions that are already explained in the existing manual. This is not unique to Sansa; it’s the same with any manual you get for any product these days.
Obviously one gets what one pays for.
Such is life.
