If I was running low on space I have a 6t drive that I could move the calibre library to. I also like having the azw3 and mobi formats for telling me that they're purchased books, differentiating them from library and PG books I downloaded in epub. (I used to have a Source column for where I got the book from but was too lazy to keep it updated.)

I'm not running low on disk space. I just have no use for mobis and no need to keep them. As I buy my books from several different stores and don't read library books, it's not formats that tell me where I got a book. I have a custom column for that.
I don't delete azw3, as it can be edited and is useful to me as a source format. Mobi isn't.
