So if you have ePub & AZW3 for the same eBook and you want to remove one of them, remove the one that's not the retail format. What I do is I have two libraries. One is for the retail source eBooks and the other is for the copies that I actually read. That way if I want/need to make any changes, I can do so with the copy I am going to read. I copy the source to my to read library and do what I need with that one. That way I always have an untouched source if I need it.
That's exactly my idea. Normally I buy from Amazon Spain, remove the bug and then read with Marvin in iOS or Fiction Book Reader in Windows. But sometimes I buy from other shops -price, availability, etc..

Those formats shoud be epub or mobi. As from past experiences, epub is the best format outside Amazon. Then I have a lot of AZWx, some ePub.

Then I convert Amazon ones to epub in order to read in Marvin/FB, and currently, if I remove all epub, I remove the ones that only have epub, but with the solution given by BetterRed, I deleted all epub from AZWx + epub combination but not the only ePub ones.
