Is there any way to tell Calibre to delete the converted version once it has been sent to a device?

I've got lots of .epub files. When I send to a Kindle, they get automatically converted - that's fine, and they look great. But I don't want to keep the converted ones. I just want to keep the originals.

I've checked the help file and the settings, but I'm not seeing anything that looks like it will do what I want.

(I only want to keep the originals for disk space reasons - and so that I can take advantage of better conversion techniques in the future.)

Thanks!
