That is a good question about where the ban's are stored in cache of the server, you might look at the files that are modified most recently, such as the the blob files. I know what you are dealing with, but I could always resolve that cache by shutting down the server and editing the file before restarting.
******* Sorry, but that doesn't help when I trie that... :-)
This is going to sound really insulting, which I don't mean it to be....coming from the old ban files, I did not realize at first that all bans are now put in "banned_user.cfg" and "banned_ip.cfg" instead of the old file names (banned.cfg & banip.cfg). I just want to make sure you are working with the correct file because I made that mistake.
******* But when I delete the banned.cfg file it recreates ******* it again as banned.cfg and not banned_user.cfg. ******* Is this in CS Source? I have a CS 1.6 server.
If you are still having the same problem, maybe consider uploading the corrected banned_user.cfg file after making it "read only," and then manually type a console command to "exec banned_user.cfg" which should put it into cache, then re-upload another non-read only version.
Like Deadman Standing suggested, the removeid and writeid might be the easiest. My other suggestion is to just use the latest 1.0.0.41 version of HL Server Watch (www.hlsw.net), and remove the bans from there....it is very fast and efficient. Good Luck!
******* Downloaded the program and waiting until someone ******* get's banned to see if it works. :-)

It doesn't matter how many times I try. Even if I restart the server (not HLDS but the actual computer) and empty the banned.cfg it still writes in all the Steam ID's as soon as someone gets banned.
What I want to know is where all the Steam ID's are stored so I can empty it's cache.
Not even Valve's staff seems to know. ;-)

Already tried that, and it doesn't work. I forgot to mention that it is a CS 1.6 server.
