Squid does it own purging of data as required. Unless there's something out of the ordinary happening, Squid shouldn't require any ongoing maintenance.

On a slightly different topic.

I do not need to run a proxy server, and I do not see the need to cache any web pages. How can I disable both of these functions? A pointer to where this is found in the documentation would also be helpful.

Thanks, in advance, for any assistance.
