If you look in Symfony's cache directory /var/cache/ you'll find an http_cache directory.
So you could use PHP's exec() to remove the directory. 

$root = $this->get('kernel')->getRootDir();
$path = $root . '/../var/cache/prod/http_cache';
exec('rm -rf ' . $path);

The easiest way to clear cash would be to use console command:

app/console cache:clear

If this is production – you need to add environment (using paramentr --env=prod. )

As default all console commands run in the dev environment.

So, for example, this command looks like app/console cache:clear -e=prod.

Would always recommend using the Symfony console:

php app/console cache:clear --env=prod

This should be fastest, as it moves/renames your current cache folder and creates a new one before deleting your old cache, so there should zero downtime.
