It is aver to delete photos in smaller batches. I had never problems with deleting a thousand photos at a time, but I had it occasionally happen, that the Recently Deleted album could not be emptied, if it has been very full.
Try to empty Recently Deleted in smaller batches by selecting no more than thousand items at a time to delete them permanently.
