Thats 2/3 the drive space of /home. seems reasonable for a dedicated
proxy box.

   "store_log none" will kill the store log entirely. Its not really needed.

Regular rotate's as mentioned earlier and by others will keep the
access.log from growing so huge.

BUT, the squid files total to only 1GB. Whatever is causing the rest of
the 15GB to fill up does not appear to be Squid from those traces.
Are you sure the cores from earlier stopped rather than changing location?
