article Apache sess_ (session) files

You may notice many (potentially hundreds) of sess_ files in the up.time or system temp folder. In most cases these are temporary session files that will be removed within 14 days. If these files are older than 14 days, or are taking up too much space, it is safe to delete them.

Example Locations:

/tmp
/var/tmp
/usr/local/uptime4/tmp
C:\Program Files\uptime software\apache\temp

Example Files:

-rw------- 1 uptime other 70 Oct 9 10:45 sess_4c77e5e79cff5f79aac23
