Deleting every single block in a minecraft world causes problems

After erasing every block in a world (Old world type) with commands:
*Teleporting the player in any location caused the game to assume the player was out of the world's boundary
*After teleporting, the player was trapped in invisible solid blocks in certain locations
*The screen became a solid white color after killing the player with commands
*Chunks began to reappear in seemingly random locations when reloading the world
