The two best options are either shrink the cache or move it.

To shrink it, edit squid.conf and change the cache size in the
cache_dir entry, and then run squid -k reconfigure. The cache will
shrink over the next few minutes.

To move it, shutdown squid, move the directory specified in the
cache_dir entry, update that cache_dir entry to reflect the new location
and then restart squid.
