 * Hi,
    We have a WordPress site we are working on and have come across a issue.
   The root directory on the server that hosts our website has filled up with what
   i believe to be php session files. There are over 120 thousand of them! The name
   of one of the files looks like this – sess_14llqupgt0la55p2hbqebadta1
 * Two questions:
 * 1. Can I simply delete them using Filezilla FTP Client?
    2. How do i stop this
   from re occurring.
 * Thanks in advance.
