Can anyone explain why this would happen. I do understand there is a small transaction fee for the miner, but when it equals the balance of my wallet.
The fee was set to 54.398 sat/B on the last transaction which is equals to 0.00010390 BTC when multiplied by the total size of the transaction.
So, that will be deducted from the input which may be equals to your balance.

If you do not want this to happen, you should avoid extremely high fee, set it to "Economic" since the normal setting seems to be over-estimating sometimes.
Fee setting is in the "Menu->Fee" when sending funds.
