It's marked for GC, and eventually gets collected.  Effectively as far
as the app's concerned  it's gone immediately.

A few options...

To delete just that one item:
<cfset structDelete(session,'myUserObject') />

However, I usually have a "isLoggedIn" property on the user object
(with a default value of false) and do this:
<cfset session.myUserObject = createObject('component','path.to.User').init() />

That way the user object still exists, but in recreating it you are
resetting all the props to their default values, with the significant
one here being isLoggedIn = false.
