Session files not being deleted

My sessions directory just keeps growing in size until my website runs out of disk space. Why aren't old session files getting deleted? These are my settings, am I doing something wrong? Why isn't PHP garbage collection cleaning these out? Should I do it manually? Thanks

$config['sess_driver'] = 'files';
$config['sess_cookie_name'] = 'mywebsitesession';
$config['sess_expiration'] = (60 * 60); 
$config['sess_save_path'] = FCPATH . "sessions";
$config['sess_match_ip'] = FALSE;
$config['sess_time_to_update'] = 300;
$config['sess_regenerate_destroy'] = TRUE;

Did you check your php.ini settings?

Make sure this is not set to 0 - ( session.gc_probability = 1 )
session.gc_divisor = 1000
session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440

I checked and session.gc_probability and session.gc_divisor were both set to 0. We just moved to a new server, so I'm guessing those values got reset because we never used to have this issue. I changed them to what you have. Hopefully, that resolves it. Thanks!

Are you using Ubuntu? I had this same problem. Makes NO sense that the value would be zero. Where do we complain about this?
