      Dear Experts, I want to delete lightsquid logs so that it can make some space in my Harddrive, as it has getting started full. So is there any command to delete the folder or file with logs. My logs path is /var/squid/log.

          Dear, what u had replyed for is to clear cache log, thanks for ur effort, but i am talking about var/squid/log. Cache is that what the users are browsing daily and that remains in cache for their fast browsing for the next time. I had attached screenshot for what i was talking about.

              Thanks, I had installed FileManager and i can delete the folder i want. Thanks for the path provided. But it is a Beta Version, how soon Stable version will be available. Can we rely on this Beta Version?
