I don't believe it starts immediately. CF does it on some type of scheduled
basis. If you look at your executive.log you will see where it is purging
client vars and the time. AND, after it does purge all of the client vars
out there, plan on this file being huge.

Subject: RE: client vars
Thanks Cameron, I dont have the need currently to use the client vars so I
just want to clear em out of the registry.
I set the "Purge data for clients that remain unvisted" to 1 day, then
stopped and restarted but nothing got purged.
In CFAdmin under "Variables" I have 2 options:
1) Enable App Variables
2) Enable Session Variables
Then below I have some Days/Hours/Min/Sec setting for the Max and Default
Timeout of the Application and Session variables.
I set these to just a single minute and restarted CF but it does not seem to
clear out these client vars in the registry.
Am I missing something perhaps or any idea why these things arnt getting
purged...?
Thanks,Adrian

If you are still planning on using client vars in your app, I would change
to using a DB for client storage. Using the registry is bad (IE: refer to
original post).
You can make CF "expire" client info which is older than X days by changing
a setting in the cfadmin. I think the default for this is 90 days. Beware
that it takes CF quite a bit of time to purge these from the registry, so be
patient if you lower this setting dramatically because it may take a long
time for the service to start the first time.
On the other hand, it takes almost no time at all for CF to purge client
data from a DB.
