I started noticing that my site was becoming slower and slower and finally found it was due to 6500+ sessions .log files sitting in the cache folder. Deleting them sped up the site dramatically. How can I make sure no more than a few days of sessions are stored?

Re: What is the best practice to clear old session files from cache?
No, the log files do not automatically purge themselves.
You can do a manual clearing of the log files via the Admin->Tools->Store Manager.
Also, if you upgrade to v1.5.1 the problem is mitigated by putting the logs elsewhere. Something to look forward to when you upgrade ;).

As it runs on Windows, I don't see any issues with access. If it was on Linux, could have been an issue.
