When using Mac OS X computers in a managed environment with individual users the desktop pictures cache fills up very quickly. Removing the folder will free over a gigabyte of disk space on the client computers (with around 1000 users logging in over a period of time).

Simply remove the desktop pictures folder from:

/Library/Cache/
