So the problem with cache is clear - one worker crash is usually
enough to stop nginx from removing cache items based on max_size
sooner or later. You have to further debug crashes to fix things.

You need nginx to reload its cache matadata (as stored in
keys_zone). This can be done either with restart or binary
upgrade to the same nginx binary, see:

http://nginx.org/en/docs/control.html#upgrade

There is no need to delete cache files.
