All the additional packages you have installed , user files, log files and the configuration files are preserved. Further more, the upgrade checks the size of the packages to be installed and adds an overhead. Still requiring 200 gb to do an upgrade doesn't sound right. Check your root slice to see whether the log files or any other user files are too big?
