Leaving the original file is a safe and easy backup that allows you to redo it when it goes wrong. Generally, it's pretty easy to manually delete the file/folder, so I suspect Kovid would rather you take responsibility for that simple step, than have Calibre do it. Of course, you can always request the feature.

Only if this is an opt-in feature (for deleting original).....
