[squid-users] Cannot purge items that are not upstream anymore

[Hussam Al-Tayeb]

Hello. I have a problem with 'squidclient -m PURGE' and also the purge 
command.
They won't purge urls from disk that are not available online anymore or 
redirect to other links.


For example, 
http://static.firedrive.com/dynamic/previews/75/27577be2d6d86af20265734b64e8d563.jpg
which corresponds to /home/squid/00/BB/0000BBC0

Even "purge -e "static.firedrive.com" -c /etc/squid/squid.conf -P  0x01" reads 
it but will not really remove it from disk.
Are such files stuck on disk forever?
What would the correct way to clear them?
