Lots of Session Files

Permalink
Hi,

I have a concrete installation, but for some reason there are over 25,000 session files in /files/tmp, adding up to over 400MB - can I delete those safely?

Generally yes.
You may end up logged out if your current session is amongst the files deleted.

If on 5.6.x, you may want to have a look at my free cache vac job.

If you're running a site which has some users you don't want to log out, you can just delete the session files created 24h ago or before that:

find /path/to/concrete/root/files/tmp/sess_* -mtime +0 -exec rm {} \;
