The book is an utter mess. But it's all just simple text and html/css to fix. This one is unimportant but I am using it to learn how to fix and configure books and generate TOC's etc. I did try 2 other unimportant books and they had the same problem, I was unable to delete the smaller image. TOC's not showing.
Huh, that is weird.
Just as I was thinking "geez how hard is it to delete a file", when I deleted the smaller image, saved the file, closed the book. Reopened it and, damn, the image is back. Never seen that before!!

I guess your azw3 file is corrupt.

In Calibre library, run the Convert Books function. Convert it to epub v3 (preferably) which seems to fix the issue. You'll notice both images are deleted as they were not used anywhere, so if you want one to remain, right click on it and Set as cover.
