Basically, this should only happen for some txt based LIT files. So raising tickets on these kinds of files is pointless.
It's really weird that you LRF file are so large. try running lrf2lrs on them and seeing what is taking up all the space. The text itself or embedded images or embedded fonts.
The next release of calibre will have a control in the bulk metadata edit to delete a format.

Ok thanks for the information and advice. I must say 300k sounds ridicuously restrictive but what do I know. Deciding what to split obviously takes a lot of processing power, some of the conversions can take 20mins and my poor laptop is burning up.
I'll try lrf2lrs and and report back.
The bulk delete will be very handy (deleting them one at a time was getting rather tedious!)
BTW I find the button to create the author sort very useful. It would be handy to have it on the bulk metadata edit as well if that's possible.
