How to clean /var/cache?

avmohan

When I woke up this morning, I found my root had filled overnight

du -hx --max-depth=1 /

132M    /boot  
4.0K    /media  
16K /lost+found  
16M /root  
702M    /lib  
4.0K    /OLDHOME  
8.2G    /usr  
73M /etc  
4.0K    /srv  
11M /sbin  
4.0K    /selinux  
8.0K    /.config  
4.0K    /cdrom  
4.6G    /var  
181M    /opt  
4.0K    /mnt  
9.3M    /bin  
4.0K    /lib64  
14G /  

The space is used by /var/cache/polipo (2.7G). How can I clean this up safely?
I tried restarts=>didn't work
Used bleachbit=>the space is not detected in the cleanup preview

PS: I did rm -rf youtube inside /var/cache/polipo and it freed up 2G space. Dunno if it was safe though

Polipo, a web caching program may store a lot of data in an on-disk cache.

One way to clear this up is to issue the command sudo polipo -x - this will cause polipo to clear the local disk cache.
