To clear the Squid proxy cache and re-create the cache directories, you can use the following steps:
- Stop the Squid service:
$ sudo service squid stop
- Remove the cache directories:
sudo rm -rf /var/spool/squid/*
- Re-create the cache directories:
$ sudo squid -z
- 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.
