I have revisited/updated our FAQ on this topic:
Using Kindle for Android with Calibre Companion. It should answer this and similar questions.

I presume that Kindle for PC is going to use azw and related formats. This is not one of the formats which was checked for download, so basically I have now downloaded everything I don't need and nothing of what I do need. If I change the selections now, will CC clean up the former formats and replace with the new ones or do I have to do something to clean up.

No. Unchecking a format has no effect on the books in the library, and checking a format does not automatically download books of that format.
Why not use a different reader app for the formats you have already downloaded?
If you really want to get rid of these non-Amazon formats then the easiest/fastest way is to delete the book files with some file manager, open CC's menu and choose Books with missing files, then Delete All. This operation will remove all the books from CC with a book file you manually deleted. The FAQ
How do I reinitialize CC without reinstalling the app? might help.

What happens if no formats are checked?

CC won't let you do that. If it did, the results probably wouldn't be good.

You provide amazing support, especially considering it is nearly midnight in France!

Thanks. I appreciate the good words.
