Cleaning up after sessions

[Mantorok]

Hi

During use of our ASP.net site users have the ability to upload files to a
temporary area.

What is the ideal way of removing these files when the user has finished (ie
the session has ended)?

Thanks
Kev

Mantorok,

I assume there is a way to identify the files based on the session id. So
the easiest way I can think of to do this is to place code to delete those
files into the Global.asax file's SessionEnd method.

This method is called whenever a session ends. There you'll be able to get
the session Id and run your delete code.
