VLC and WMP use their own database and cache (and/or images in the folders).  
You would have to update these as well.  
see e.g. here:

or here:

If your tablet has a different player, you would have to look for that player's database/cover cache ... In WMP it is easiest to update files like this: Delete the files from the database only Use Extras\>Restore deleted elements. Or with any other player: delete the files from the player and then invoke a…

None of the above seems to work I have removed the art work with mp3tag so there is no image embedded in the track and when I play the track a image is displayed that has nothing to do with the track in question

Which should prove that MP3tag has nothing to do with the behaviour of the players.  
I am not sure what you tried to achieve when you deleted the proper covers from the files.

The links I supplied show paths to the local caches of VLC and WMP - folders which should be deleted to clear the cache. Then let the players rebuild their cache with the uptodate data (which you deleted, unfortunately...)
