Squid will automatically rebuild swap.state if it is lost.

Probably you did not let Squid finish the rebuild of swap.state. If
Squid is restarted while swap.state is being rebuilt then the remaining
objects in the cache (i.e. those for which swap.state has not yet been
rebuilt) will be lost.

It is entirely possible the problem will disappear automatically after a
while, but quite likely Squid will remove most of the cache before that,
thinking that there is no space left.
