It may be that /usr/bin/lyx is provided by your package manager. So removing it
manually would be a very bad style IMO.

Better to set
a;) either your PATH to have /usr/local/bin prior to /usr/bin
or
b;) if your OS is debian based, use synaptic to withdraw the lyx.
    You may also check if the '/usr/bin/lyx' belongs to a package
    $ dpkg -S `which lyx`
