You can't delete the images, because they are referenced from cached HTML.
Unlike thumbnails, there is no way to regenerate them without parsing the
articles that refer to them, because only the hash is known, the source LaTeX
is not stored in the math table. 

Perhaps we could change the base directory and URL, and have a 404 handler that
falls back to the old math directory when an image doesn't exist in the new
directory. Then after a few months, we could delete the old directory.

That would be a one-off though. A more permanent solution would be to change
the schema, direct all math requests to a script, and implement expiry in
MediaWiki.
