Bug Description

Right click on an album image.
Properties
Right click on the album image in the properties window
"Delete this cover art".

Cover art is deleted, BUT
As soon as you start playing the track, the album art is re-fetched.

This is annoying. I haven't seen any cover images that are I'm 100% sure are _wrong_ yet, but there are some that I don't recognize. I want to be able to null them out, without having to draw up a dummy cover image.

As well as the extra state, I guess this would also need an explicit "check for cover art" action, so I could reverse my decision in future.

I'm pretty sure Banshee is reloading artwork from the id3 tags. I accidentally gave most of my songs the wrong artwork, and now am trying to delete them through Banshee. It deletes momentarily, but then is reloaded.
