After I have deleted the most of the files from the /var/spool/squid

I have the following status, as shown below:

Give some pointers such as to create more free space to let the squid run
properly. Many times the squid was dead, as there was no enough space in
/var partition left.

Only after creating more space that the squid was made to restart.

Thanks
