Too many covers

Help - my covers are multiplying! I have 3 (identical) covers for most of my books. This didn't used to be the case, and I don't know how it happened. I have also noticed that newly downloaded books have 3 covers, so I have an ongoing problem. I have had a look in the preferences but can't see anything which relates. Does anybody have any idea how I can stop them breeding?

I am identifying and deleting the surplus covers through the library maintenance facility, checking the integrity of the database and then deleting the highlighted additional files listed under 'Unknown files in books'. As I have nearly 3000 books, each with 2 additional covers, it is a very tedious job to check a box for each one of them. It doesn't appear possible to hold down the shift button so I can check multiple boxes. Is there a more efficient way to delete these additional covers. They are taking up precious space in my Dropbox storage.

Thank you for any ideas.
