Good point. Which brings up the question, why manually delete the cache at all?
Instead, just lower the maximum cache size (e.g. the cache_dir
statement), run "squid -k reconfigure" and let squid choose what to
delete.
The effect is almost immediate (let it run for ten minutes and check
'df'), and squid doesn't have to start building the cache again from
scratch.

Good point. I'm not sure why its not official.
I have added a wiki page for future reference on this
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/ClearingTheCache
Please not that its only guaranteed to work when a TOTAL size change is
made, not a type or L1/L2 change. That remains untested. If anyone is
game to try the L1/L2 change and publish the results the help can be
updated.
Thanks

Please use Squid 2.6STABLE17 or 3.0STABLE1.
There are serious security advisories out on all earlier releases.
