Thanks Cameron and Dean. The structDelete was what I was looking for!
But Cameron, you made me think of another question when you mentioned
calling init() on your user object. When do you create it? At the start of a
session?
Thanks again,
Clarke

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.
