Khalid,
The cache size is defined by the cache_dir on your file squid.conf .
The default configuration is:
#cache_dir ufs /usr/local/squid/var/cache 5600 16 256
That means: Your cache is located at /usr/local/squid/var/cache and will have a maximum size of 5.600 MB (5,6 GB)
You'll find the disk usage of your cache directory issuing a du -sb /usr/local/squid/var/cache (maybe it will take a time to run)
If you want a complete wipe of your cache directory, I first *STOP* squid, ensure that your cache is stopped issuing a ps ax|grep squid, then:
rm -rf /usr/local/squid/var/cache
mkdir /usr/local/squid/var/cache
chown squid_process_owner /usr/local/squid/var/cache
/usr/local/squid/sbin/squid -z
Then, run your cache normally.
Please notice, as Elsen stated, Squid ages and delete normally the objects on the cache, to keep the cache_size within the specified on squid.conf . So, under typical ops, you have no need to erase your cache dir.
Good luck, Rodrigo.
