to remove old files you need to ssh to the server and type this:

cd /var/www/html/magento/var/session/
find . -name 'sess*' -mtime +7 -exec rm {} \;

it will remove files older than week.

to rotate magento logs use this:

some command variations:

find . -mtime +30 -delete
find . -mtime +30 | xargs rm -Rf
