That sounds like a Squid bug to me. I do not recall seeing code that
would delay purging ufs files from disk (but I am not a ufs expert).

Why? Are you afraid of Squid serving those stale responses to users?
That is unlikely even of Squid has a bug deleting those files from disk.

If this is a bug, and it still exists in recent versions, then it should
be reported and fixed.

Meanwhile, if those leftovers really bother you, you can add custom (or
enable higher-level) debugging to figure out which stale files were not
deleted and delete them manually (or even from a script). You may be
able to do the same by analyzing store.log as well. Sorry, I do not have
specific step-by-step instructions for doing this.
