The rest I leave as it is. A working TOC is nice to have, but not that important. Generally I won't bother with it.
Still, I do fix these things in the editor, not by conversion. And I delete excerpts, ads, praises, recommendations and other fillers, because I can't stand them. I've never understood the point of excerpts. If I like the author, I'll buy their other works anyway (at least some of them), and if I don't, no amount of excerpts will make me to do so.

When I am editing the eBook, I remove all that same rubbish. I also delete any internal. I dump any unused graphics. As long as I'm in the CSS dumping line-height, margins, excessive space for chapter headers, normalizing font sizes, fixing any graphics that need fixing, and other things that make reading better for me, I find that by the time I'm done with what I want, there's not much left (if anything) that could be cleaned up. Sometimes when dumping unused CSS, hundreds of CSS classes get dropped. The last time it as 299 CSS classes that got dropped.
