CC lets me update the library, but disconnects when I try and sync. Unfortunately, CC isn't letting me delete books, either, so I cannot delete as I go. I have about 5 books I have read, but I get unknown error when I try and delete.

I received the debug log and it supports your theory. However, I don't understand why you can't delete books.
I strongly suspect that you have run into the problem described in this FAQ:
I have added a lot of books on an SD card and now downloading books takes forever. What do I do? Although the problem is posed in terms of "taking forever", it also exists in terms of an absolute limit on the number of files (books) that can exists in a single directory. Given an "average" length of book file names, that limit is easily hit as early as 9,000 files. You could be there. See
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=276337 for some more discussion.
The fix is the one described in the FAQ.
What I don't understand is why CC can't delete a file. That makes little sense. I don't know if the fix described in the FAQ will work because it requires that CC can delete files. However, if you have a file manager program then you can delete a 4 or 5 files yourself, "freeing" space for CC. If after doing that you can send a file then we know what the problem is. You change the template and start resending books. You would then resend the deleted books after changing the template. Note that you don't need to resend *all* books, just enough (10 or so) to create enough space to store the folders.
My apologies for not being definite and clear. We are at the edge of what is "normal" behavior, and I simply cannot be more precise.
