 It saves the conversions of images for loading into LyX itself. If you
 delete the directory, they will be re-generated as required.

Hi Påvel,
would you mind to tell me where you fou nd this setting exactly?

I looked through all of the menues, searched in ~/.lyx and
/usr/share/lyx for a *.prefs file and grepped in both subtrees for
'cache' and 'lifetime'. With no result.

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.
