If these .lyx~ files bother you, you could add the following to your .bashrc
<https://techstacker.com/create-bashrc-open-nano/> file:

alias dellyx='find . -name "*.lyx~" -delete'

Then, with a Terminal window open, type "dellyx" at the $ prompt, and all
the .lyx~ files in that directory and all its subdirectories will be
deleted. (Obviously, only do this when you're sure that you won't need any
of the backups.)
