Re: [squid-users] limitting squid cache!!!

Squid will auto purge old object using your File system which you are
using in cache dir form exmp, UFS, DISKD, AUFS .....
You can think and go back when you was studing Computer Logic Design
concept LIFO (Last in First Out). So squid will purge very last object
when it will store new one. If you want to delete object manually then you
can use ./squidclient utility like that
./squidclient -p PURGE hereobjectURL

I think it will help :)
