On windows version, there isn't any cron like linux that delete files on temp folder.

On some customer that require the windows version, I've a schtask script that at specific hour, remove session file older than 1 day.

What is best practice on windows to remove session files or my method is ok?

Sounds good to me. Just make sure the retention period is consistent with the session.cookie_lifetime configuration.

Just to clarify: by default, PHP doesn't rely on cron to clear old session files, but uses its own garbage collector system instead.

See the following variables:

So if you use your own scheduled task, just disable this system by setting session.gc_probability = 0
