At times, you have to also delete the book's css stylesheets, when moronic designers decide to add drop caps and/or codes which otherwise eff with the layout.

BTW, if you are a said designer who does this, don't. And while you're at it, no one wants to see a 5MB color photo of yourself, nor the full-color covers of your other books which eat up a bunch more space. AND (while I'm ranting) eliminate all those fonts you seem to think readers want. They're useless. Finally, run your book through Calibre's error-fixer
Deleting the CSS is a really really really bad idea. Instead of that, learn HTML/CSS and edit it to fix what's wrong.

As to the excess images, I delete them. No more images, no more wasted space.
