You mentioned deleting. I accidentally pasted the wrong URL in the Upload poster via URL via the web app. How do I delete it?

Deletion is not possible.  
Just upload a new poster.

But honestly; I recommend you to store this poster as a jpg file beside your video files. Name it according to the Plex recommendation for ‘Local Media Assets’.  
This ensures that the posters is available if you ever have to recreate the library.

Same answer.

put these into your file storage

possible ‘side car’ files for music:

I wouldn’t trust last.fm to fetch correct info about bootlegs and special editions of albums, like those recent expanded re-releases of Zappa albums. Put as much info into the meta tags as possible. Put a cover art inside the album folder and you should be good. Makes sure to set at least ‘AlbumArtist’ and ‘AlbumTitle’ to…
