Now I get back to the original question, how can I degunk these folders?
I need to know which sessions are still likely to be active and which
ones are not. That all has nothing to do with the temp folder that the
web server creates somewhere for holding the session data. I have no
idea where that temp folder is and if I'd now what happens when I just
dump some files in it (such as the extracted files from the zip
archive). I really like to know where the files and folders are and thus
create/copy/move them on my own.

Wow.
No offense, but this sounds like a case of "All I have is a hammer, and
everything looks like a nail".

In a page taken from the ADODB manual: (
http://phplens.com/lens/adodb/docs-adodb.htm#cacheflush)

If you want to flush all cached recordsets manually, execute the following
PHP code (works only under Unix):
  system("rm -f `find ".$ADODB_CACHE_DIR." -name adodb_*.cache`");

For general cleanup of all expired files, you should use crontab on Unix,
or at.exe on Windows, and a shell script similar to the following:
#------------------------------------------------------
# This particular example deletes files in the TMPPATH
# directory with the string ".cache" in their name that
# are more than 7 days old.
#------------------------------------------------------
AGED=7
find ${TMPPATH} -mtime +$AGED | grep "\.cache" | xargs rm -f


I use a slightly different line in my crontab:
@daily find /path/to/tmp/files -mtime +1 -exec rm -rf {} \;
