Uhm, no, of course not, and I don't like the idea of doing this online. But you can do that offline with acngtool, and this could be run in a cron job as well. However, the shrink function in 2-2 could overlook some garbage data, but you still could give it a chance. If it does the job, please close this issue, thanks. $ /usr/lib/apt-cacher-ng/acngtool shrink USAGE: acngtool shrink numberX [-f | -n] [-x] [-v] [variable assignments...] -f: delete files -n: dry run, display results -v: more verbosity -x: also drop index files (can be dangerous) Suffix X can be k,K,m,M,g,G (for kb,KiB,mb,MiB,gb,GiB) Best regards, Eduard.
