What type of technical books with schematics?

We’ll start in the more basic end. Microsoft’s Encyclopędia of Networking comes in at 822MB in ePub.
The Illustrated Guide To Commodore Components is 1.3GB
Multiple game platform A-Z books are over 1GB.
D&D books regularly exceed 500MB. Some well into the Low Gigabyte range.
All of those are ePub, not PDF.
Comic books, art books, etc

I've seen it referred to as calibre ebook converter or even misspelled as Calibre ebook converter however Kovid Goyal refers to it as "a comprehensive e-book management tool"

The ‘conversion’ capability is not even on that list

Sure. But it’s marketed across the web as a powerful ebook
converter.
Many people are going to find it when they type in ebook converter to any of the dozen or so independent search engines.
It may be more, but its general presence on the internet is first and formost as a converter.
I bring up ECC for a good reason. The continued statement use the command line.
Well, that would be great for making an epub. Which then needs extracting to manually modify the HTML to match my visual preferences. Then recompressed, a difficult task for compliance. ECC makes that recompress one step.
It’s a method I use on a rare occasion for over complicated non-drm books that calibre has trouble with.
When all else fails extract, load the HTML files into NeO, make the changes, save, and ECC produces a nice neat file to send to my phone or Boox tablet.

As for what Adobe says about pdf sizes, I don’t know what you’re looking at. But I have many well over that size you posted.
Acrobat is quite capable of creating PDF files of cad and cam exports exceeding 10GB.
.
Finally, times change I guess. Whatever you’re using Calibre for is your choice. For all of us, we use what’s right for us. Calibre has plugins, and is easy to create plugins for, that cover a very wide range of formats.
You choose to use it as a document manager and library.
None of this changes my original point: there’s no technical reason we can’t option it for disable storing deleted files.
For the however many that found calibre through a web search looking for the best converter available… it would be greatly appreciated.
Again, I’m not the only one who said anything.
