(Lets assume I haven't use a certain machine for half a year...)

For many reasons:
- deleting - I would like to know, if I'm allowed to delete a certain file, thus

it's important to know if it is still used by any session
- destruction - I'm planning to use a destructive application an a file

and would like to know, if this file is used by any session, where

this modification would cause trouble
- duplication and release - one may intend to export all files (maybe

of a certain type) for a certain session and send them to a friend.
- freeing disk space - I would like to remove all files not used (anymore) by

any session (or by a _certain_ session). how else would I know ?
