I have a 2GB SD card and I've put quite a few things on it which makes up to about 1.6 GB. When I try to put something else on, it says it's full! I still have 400MB which could get me more games.

Whats wrong?

The problem is from your computer?? Maybe it's because it is in FAT format.I think that it should be in FAT32 to support 2GB but then your SC will not recognize it because there is not any FAT32 support for now.

the partition barrier on FAT is 4GB.
Also formatted size is alot smaller than what is stated, due to various factors in naming (1000 vs 1024) and the FAT table taking up room.
My 1GB card is actually only 955MB big.
Either way... your card should still have 1.9GB left on it.
Make sure that nothing is using the card at the time (sometimes computers give a not enough room error when they cant properly read the drive) and that there are no wierd hidden files on it...

separe your files in different folders

Yeah FAT has a limit to the number of files per folder, 64 i think.

BEFORE YOU DELETE ANYTHING OR MOVE TOO MUCH STUFF:

I have a supercard 2gb mini SD and I had the extact same problem you're discribing only a couple days ago. I had a few hundred MP3s on my card and it was completely full, so I deleted all my mp3s to make room but the card still said it was full. I spent a while trying to fix this and eventually I figured out what was going on, the files were moved and hidden. I couldn't see them on my pc but when I opened DSorganizer it showed a new folder on the main directory called RECYCLE that was invisibile. I deleted a few files in it and then it showed up on the card when I put it in my computer again.

To view "hidden" files in Windows Explorer:

Open windows explorer
>Tools
>>Folder Options
>>>View
>>>>"Show hidden files and folders"

You can also try right-clicking on your recycle bin and saying only use recycler on C:
