Please see below the output of pwd and df commands:-

[root_at_stud-pxy squid]# pwd
/var/log/squid
[root_at_stud-pxy squid]# ls -l
total 1005212
-rw-r--r-- 1 squid squid 502314096 2008-10-17 22:40 access.log

-rw-r--r-- 1 squid squid 524928293 2008-10-17 22:40 store.log
[root_at_stud-pxy squid]#

In my proxyserver, the access.log is under the path /var/log/squid.

Now please tell me do i need to keep the cache.log file. Can i delete this
file to create more space....?

Also what can i do delete/ squeeze the access.log file ?

I have looked into the squid.conf file, and there is line like this below.

cache_dir ufs /home/squid 30720 16 256

What should I do or can do to reduce the size of the /var partition in my
proxy-server ?

The output if the df command shows up utilization of 94% of the hard disk.

[root_at_stud-pxy squid]# df
