Is there a way to remove the duplicate mobi7 images folder from the split KF8?

I understand that KU is not intended as a converter per se, but for FXL the mobi7 files are redundant in the split out KF8, and only add to the file size. It would be highly useful to be able to output a KF8 FXL with the smallest file size possible for use in distribution via non-Amazon outlets. There is no way to do this currently so far as I know.

Or are the files in this folder somehow necessary for older Kindle models? Aside from the addition of a thumbnail cover in the Mobi7 folder (and their location obviously) they are identical, and therefore redundant. And there is nothing else in there.

Fantastic work on this over the years btw. It has been of inestimable value.
