The question is: why would you do something like that? Anyone knowledgeable enough to risk manually editing the opf should already know that they also need to delete the image-file itself for the removal to be complete. Those NOT knowledgeable enough (or those who are just plain lazy like me), would use Sigil's integral delete function which would take care of both details properly.

Sorry, but protecting a user from every single way they could possibly manage to break their own epub if they try hard enough is not a rabbit-hole I plan to start down. Neither is protecting a user from all the ways an externally created epub could already BE broken before Sigil ever touches it.

Perhaps that will all change if we ever get to the point where sigil doesn't need to enforce its own internal structure on all epubs. but until that time ... it is what it is.
