And after converting book, there are at least 2 different file types of the same book. So I think it will be wonderful if calibre could provide the feature to keep just one file type of the book and delete the others.

Forget that Calibre's Data folder even exists (except for back ups).
You touch it wrong and you break parts of the database.
You can do everything you need from the GUI, or on rarer conditions: The command line.
Find a book by:
Author
or Title
or Tag (use the Luggage tag at the bottom)
or Series
or (when record added) Date
Then, you use
Send to Device or
Save to Disk. All without ever knowing which folder the original was kept in.
Tip: Fixing the Author Name in the Meta-data, fixes the folder name-path.
You can even use the Bulk edit feature to fix a whole bunch of variations at the same time..
