Hello Robin,

You can try with purge tool.This is squid related software.
The purge tool is a kind of magnifying glass into your squid-2 cache.
You can use purge to have a look at what URLs are stored in which file
within your cache. The purge tool can also be used to release objects
which URLs match user specified regular expressions. A more troublesome
feature is the ability to remove files squid does not seem to know about
any longer.
