Update: Oh, well, I finally just trashed everything, one at a time, and found that those images somehow lived in Library.musicdb. They're now gone, and I've got to reconfigure my Music window...GIANT PIA!
Huh, so you couldn't take my guess about it 🙎ðŸ»â€â™‚ï¸(that emoji is a "man pouting") 😊
FWIW I just checked and verified the Music folder is included in Time Machine backups so it is recoverable and you wouldn't necessarily need to reconfigure your Music window.
