The best way is to be patient. Squid will go through all
the swap directories and remove unused files. It may take a day
or so to search all the directories. You can monitor the progress
by looking at the cachemgr "counters" page, and searching for
'swap_files_cleaned'. For example:
wessels squid/src 63> ./client mgr:counters | grep clean
swap_files_cleaned = 0
