There are 2 ways I've done it in the past. Both have their pros and cons.
Inside the app - When a new session is created, take the time to inspect
the old data lying around and delete stuff that's too old.
pro: everything is inside the application
con: every login takes extra time. This may be too much time depending
on how busy the server is.
Cron job - simply delete stuff that's too old. Usually doesn't need to
be run more than once a day.
pro: does not slow down any portion of the site.
con: it's something external to the application that has to be
maintained.
Which one works for you is really about how much you need to scale.
