PHP uses the session file in order to preserve state across multiple accesses from the same browser. If it deleted the file when the browser closed, it would not have the data available for the next page access from that browser. When you want a session to finish you can get the user to do some kind of logout procedure which can call session_destroy, otherwise you can leave the files for garbage collection later.
