I actually was wondering how to do this. I am using Safari on a Windows Machine and it worked like a charm! Thanks so much for this article!

To get rid of the already accumulated images, go to Safari>Reset Safari. Select “Remove all webpage preview images” and “Remove all website icons” and click the reset button.
To stop Safari from gathering more images, in Finder, go to the Go menu and press the Option key to get to your Library. Find Caches and then com.apple.Safari>Webpage Previews. Select this folder and press Command I (Get Info). In the Get Info window, check the Lock button. With the folder locked, Safari can no longer save images to it.
