To shrink it, edit squid.conf and change the cache size in the cache_dir entry, and then run squid -k reconfigure. The cache will shrink over the next few minutes. To move it, shutdown squid, move the directory specified in the cache_dir entry, update that cache_dir entry to reflect the new location and then restart squid.
