  the folder is filled with session files

  
  This command should clear them out easy enough:
  rm -rf /tmp/sess*

  How can I found which process or software is creating this
  it's php any site running php will add sess files to your tmp note: session files are usually very small your examples the largest file is 4k are you sure that they are taking 100% of your space and not something else
