Clearing array from laravel session (laravel 5.2)

Question

I'm currently setting an array of tokens in a user's session on a laravel site, and the session successfully sets the array (called tokenArray) which shows in the debug bar for the session as expected:

    if (!is_null($user) && $user->active) {

        Auth::login($user);

        Session::put('Tokens',$tokenArray);

        return redirect()->intended($this->redirectPath());

    }

The issue is that when I logout successfully and get redirected to the sign in page the array of tokens still shows in the session on the debug bar.

I would think it would be destroyed by default but is there a way that I need to flush the array specifically? I have a listener on the logout event, so if I need to I could try something there.

SHould this be cleared by default though?

Do a Session::flush(); on your logout method to delete all session data or.

Session::forget('tokens');

to delete only the tokens.

You can also use session helper.

session()->forget('tokens');

To delete all session data call following method.

 session()->flush();
