Hi,

You can't flush, or empty the squid cache. What you can do is to stop squid, delete the cache directory and then run

Code:

squid -z

to recreate it.
After that start squid again normally.

Also keep in mind that the cache is automatically managed, so you don't need to do this.

Isn't that the same with what I've posted above?
Well except that in your link the guy deletes the old cache directory after starting squid.
