I've read this that you have to use several phases
first

cd /var/squid/cache

and then

rm -rf *

[firefox]

It did not do anything
the mark go only one line down

You have to stop squid, then from  a shell the command

squid -z

should suffice (it recreates the swap area, and therefore should clean also the cache).
