Clear Squid Proxy Cache And Re-create the Cache Directories

To clear the Squid proxy cache and re-create the cache directories, you can use the following steps:

  1. Stop the Squid service:
    $ sudo service squid stop
  2. Remove the cache directories:
    $ sudo rm -rf /var/spool/squid/*
  3. Re-create the cache directories:
    $ sudo squid -z
  4. Start the Squid service:
    $ sudo service squid start

These steps will clear the Squid proxy cache and re-create the cache directories. The Squid service will then be restarted and ready to use.
