Log files in /var/log? What about the squid store log which you do not need!
Update your squid.conf to make the store log none

Have a look at your squid.conf file and look for this line
cache_dir

My one I have configured like this.
cache_dir aufs /data/squid 5000 15 256
To give 5G in /data/squid

If you change it you will need to trash the current cache and create new with
squid -z
