What is your cache_dir configuration?

Yes.

1. Stop Squid.

2. Remove cache by running

        rm -rf /usr/local/squid/var/cache/*

3. Rebuild the cache by running

        squid -z

4. Start Squid again.

Alternatively with much shorter downtime:

1. Stop Squid

2. Move the old cache out of the way by running

        cd /usr/local/squid/var/cache"
        mkdir junk
        mv ?? swap.* junk
        
3. Rebuild the cache by running

        squid -z

4. Start Squid again.

5. Remove the old cache contents by running

        rm -rf junk
