I use LyX 2.0 on Ubuntu 11.04. When I did some work in my /home
folder I realised that my .lyx folder is very big. Most of the space
is taken by the subfolder "cache" which is over 5GB big. It mostly
contains images from my projects in .eps and .png formats. Is it
safe to empty the cache subfolder? Is there a way to flush it from
within LyX? Such a big cache building up can be an issue on small
systems.
It's safe to remove. I don't think there's any way to do it from
within LyX. Probably there should be, and a "limit cache to N MB"
choice, too.
Thank you for the answer!
I guess I have to remember cleaning the cache now and then.
Set up a cron job. Have it check the size of the cache and remove as
much as it needs to remove (starting with the older files) to get it
down to some level you specify. Shouldn't be too hard.
