Are Covers Stored in Metadata or in the Formats?

I'm thinking of removing the various old formats of my Amazon books in my Calibre library (Remove Books > Remove All Formats From Selected Books) and then adding the latest format back from Amazon. Just about all of my book covers in my Library have been updated/changed over the years. If I remove all the old formats (leaving the metadata), do those updated covers go away, too? Or are they stored someplace in the metadata and will be the covers used once the new formats are in place? I'm especially worried that even if the covers are stored in the metadata, when I add back the new format, Calibre will prefer the file's/format's cover over any existing metadata cover.
