Sounds like US media political messages: 'I am Arnaud, and I approve this
message'. That said, welcome!

You will have to write your own module if you want to manually delete TLS
sessions parameters instead of letting them expire after 10 minutes.
You could also emulate this daily purge by keeping stock nginx but setting :
ssl_session_timeout 1d;
albeit I for one do not recommend such settings since sessions parameters
should probably not be remembered that long for several reasons...

On a side-note, by default nginx does not store session parameters as it
prefers tickets
<http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_ssl_module.html#ssl_session_tickets>,
supported since v1.5.9, over sessions ID.
The former is a more recent mechanism than the latter, and has the notable
benefit of storing session parameters client-side, which scales, avoids
cache management trouble as yours and some other ones. There are some docs
<http://chimera.labs.oreilly.com/books/1230000000545/ch04.html#TLS_RESUME>
about that in the Web tubes.
Why not sticking with those defaults (or even set ssl_session_cache to off
to be absolutely clear)?
