Erase unused transfer sessions

Hello, I was trying out a few things with the WHM API and saw that a lot of transfer sessions were created. I found the in /var/cpanel/transfer_sessions:
drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Jun 6 19:45 1761262021copya20170606154006hwq0XOI/ drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Jun 7 11:10 1921681051copya20170607081037Y5TBXMo/ drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Jun 7 11:12 1921681051copya2017060708123400MK85q/ drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Jun 7 11:15 1921681051copya20170607081457W7U2o0A/ drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Jun 7 11:24 1921681051copya20170607082447J1vqVPP/ drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Jun 7 11:25 1921681051copya20170607082535P336o8Z/ drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Jun 7 11:26 1921681051copya20170607082618OqD2Md4/ drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Jun 7 11:26 1921681051copya2017060708265565ckz0J/ drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Jun 7 12:07 1921681051copya20170607090755lqheY71/ drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Jun 7 13:46 1921681051copya201706070909476skYaIb/ -rw------- 1 root root 5120 Jun 7 12:09 whmxfer.sqlite
Is there a safe way to remove these sessions including from the WHMxfer database? Thank you.

  If they are not in use, just delete them from the filesystem directly. It won't break anything.

  Hello, You may also find the following WHM API 1 function useful if you want to verify the transfer session has ended before deleting those files: WHM API 1 Functions - get_transfer_session_state - Software Development Kit - cPanel Documentation Thank you.

  Hello, I'll do a follow-up on this thread. My initial question was somehow inexact. The thing that I wanted to do is a "cleanup" of the entries in WHM -> Review Transfers and Restores. In my case, I did some tests using the transfer tool and some were successful and some failed, while others were blocked in "ABORTING" state. To clean this up, I did the following steps: Check if the transfer session is running. You can get the transfer session id from WHM -> Review Transfers and Restores :
  whmapi1 get_transfer_session_state transfer_session_id=MY_ID
  Force the session to abort:
  whmapi1 abort_transfer_session transfer_session_id=MY_ID
  Enter the sqlite database:
  cd /var/cpanel/transfer_sessions/ sqlite3 whmxfer.sqlite
  Show tables:
  .tables
  Show table structure:
  .schema sessions
  Delete by session ID:
  DELETE from sessions WHERE sessionid = 'DELETE_SESSION_BY_SESSION_ID_ENTRY';
  Delete by PID:
  DELETE from sessions WHERE pid= 'MY_PID';
  Hope this helps someone.
