When downloading chapters kotatsu creates index.json and cover.* (one of multiple image formats) metadata files alongside the *.cbz files representing the actual chapters. These do not get deleted when the user deletes all downloaded chapters through the app and can only be removed manually using a file management app. I expect the app to clean up those files, especially when their disk usage is shown in the UI.
I think deleting them when the last downloaded chapter gets deleted is best.
An alternative would be to just add a button and let people do it manually in the app. That button could be placed in the "Saved manga" popup next to the "Delete read chapters" button:
Steps to reproduce
download a chapter
delete it again
see a few kB of disk usage in the app
see cover image and index json files in the respective directory
