The saved settings ASSUME you have them corrected. So why would you NOT want to keep them?
I always do bulk conversions (sometimes, for the entire library when I want to standardize something). I don't tweak conversions on a per book basis. Calibre saves settings used for bulk conversions, too. Personally not a fan of that behavior.

It's a pretty minor nit. I just bulk edit metadata to delete saved conversion settings immediately after, then do a Check Library to compact the database. I have daily versioned backups with copies in the cloud set up so deleting conversion settings saves me quite a bit of space, too.
