Sometimes it may be necessary to remove all of the files in your Squid cache, perhaps to free up disk space or force the reloading of pages from their originating web servers.
This can be done easily using Webmin by following these steps:
1. | On the module's main page, click on the Clear and Rebuild Cache icon. A confirmation page asking if you are really sure will be displayed in your browser. |
2. | |
3. | A page showing Webmin's progress will be displayed as it shuts down Squid, deletes all cached files, reinitializes the directories, and finally restarts Squid. This may take quite some time if you have a large cache or are using a filesystem that is slow to delete files (such as UFS on Solaris). |
