Historically, 65537 (if I remember correctly) is the maximum that one can store in a 16 bit word so that could be an issue (and only half that if it is a signed 16 bit word).
I doubt that this is the problem here but you never know.
Suggest you use some other criteria to reduce the displayed items and try with a smaller size
Also, deleting a large number of files can take a very long time - most systems delete from the first selected file towards the last and this causes the directory information to be repeatedly rewritten (if they deleted in the reverse order then this minimises the flushing of the directory as it can just be truncated).
Bearing this in mind, it might be easier to select the files that you want to copy e.g. a collection and just export/import those. Keep doing this until all the required files are transferred.
