As far as I can see, this means that I now have two versions of each book both on my pc and on my device. Is that correct? If yes is there someway I can delete one of the formats in order to avoid each book taking up double space with out having to handle each book separately?
Thanks!

1. make any changes before sideloading to kindle. you can select the books that you want to change and then press ctrl+d. this would give you an option to download metadata or covers or both. you can, from there, do the relevant changes and save.
2. the books that you need to sideload on your kindle can be saved in mobi, or azw3 format. though it takes a tad few more steps but ensures space savings. do as follows:
a. select the books that have been converted
b. click the small down arrow on right side of "Save to Disk"
c. Selct "save single format to disk"
d. this will give you an option to save either of the formats (Coverted or original). you can save any that you like ( i prefer azw3 as it gives better rendering than mobi imho). then delete the books from calibre and load the converted saved books to calibre again
e. send to kindle.
f. voila.
