asyncufs can't handle massive deletetions very well. You have to do it
in incremental steps or temporary switch to the normal "ufs" store
driver.

1. Decrease cache_swap_low to widen the storage maintencance gap. The
gap should probably be in the range of 20% (low = 75, high = 95).

2. When Squid has stabilized after the above change, decrease the cache
size by 50% of the gap (10% of the size). Repeat until satisfied with
the used cache size.

3. Reconfigure Squid to use the cache_dir size you want, and normal
high/low values.
