Hey there! The most likely explanation is that there is code on the sites that isn't properly closing the session. You may want to examine the session files to see if you can determine what pages are leaving sessions on the server. These aren't areas that typically get cleared automatically, but you'll see the other directories are much smaller.

I wouldn't recommend deleting the directory itself, but you can delete the contents (the session files) and that will not cause an issue for the server.
