Rails comes with a number of Rake tasks for cleaning up various temporary files that get generated when you run your application.

• Clear all files in tmp/

  rake tmp:clear

• Clear all files and directories in tmp/cache

  rake tmp:cache:clear

• Clear all files in tmp/sessions

  rake tmp:sessions:clear

• Clear all files in tmp/sockets

  rake tmp:sockets:clear

• Rake can also clear the sessions table if you’re using one:

  rake db:sessions:clear
