@GoldThreader - at its core the calibre ebook library management application (calibre GUI) is a database (one per physical library) that manages/controls/logically owns a set of folders and files. Access to database is achieved via the calibre GUI, hence access to its folders and files should only be via the calibre GUI.

The calibre GUI creates the folders and files when you add a book. Changes to book title or authorship in the calibre GUI will change that book's folder and file names (algorithmically). Hence it follows that removal of books and format files must done from the calibre GUI.

If you want to control/manage/logically own the folders and files in which your books are stored you could use the calibre Command Line Interface, either directly or via your own scripts,

BTW : the simplest way (IMO) to remove a specific format from the current book is to press Alt/Del on your keyboard and select the formats(s) you want to remove. Also works if multiple books are selected.
