| i tried doing url.purge ".*" and url.purge "." to no avail.

url.purge does not actively go out and remove the objects; they'll be
picked up by the LRU cleaner after a while.

If you need to recover the memory, you can do a quick «stop» and then
«start» in the CLI, but this will naturally nuke your complete cache, so
it can't be used if you just wanted to remove some bits.
