If you click the Help button in the error dialog, the help topic for error 1190 says this:
The file is too large to be modified.
*The file is larger than 2 GB.
*Use another method to reduce the file size, and then try again.
This describes it pretty well, and it is easily discoverable.
>
File "name" is too large.>
>this error message could be improved further. It can be more explicit about the actual cause of the problem.
