Are such > files stuck on disk forever? No. Cache is a temporary storage location. Think of it as a buffer in the network. They will exist only until a) the storage space is needed for something else, or b) the timestamp in their Expires: header, or c) an origin server informs Squid they are no longer existing. PURGE method was a way to fake (c). > What would the correct way to clear them? By obeying HTTP protocol. HTTP has built-in mechanisms for doing that automatically. Or you can just delete the disk file. Squid will auto-detect the removal at some point when it needs to use or delete the object. Until then it will just under-count the amount of used disk.
