For deleting the existing cache_dir, first
you will need to stop squid (squid -k shutdown), then delete the existing directory
and running squid again with the -z option.
Since its probable that your top directory where the cache_dir is belongsto other user, you may need to tweek the permissions for that directory.
Anyway, this wont solve your problems of slownes. Its better that you tweek the squid configuration, and if this proxy is used by a good quantity of users, its a good idea toadd more memory to it. You really should take a look at the Squid faq:http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/FAQ/FAQ.html

If you are still tackling this problem, perhaps you should consider calling your local super-hero.
