Not quite. The sessions on disk get deleted when the session's _cleanup method is called, which happens as an application processor AND the time since last call is greater than the timeout (which defaults to 24 hours). It also runs the first time session is called due to some interesting code (not sure why those aren't just class variables, but oh well), so simply restarting the webpy app and viewing a page will cleanup the sessions for you.
