You may have to call the session-storage's save() (Documentation) method explicitly.

Force the session to be saved and closed.

Further you can request to delete the session- and/or remember_me-cookies via response headers.

The session-cookie's name is configured as the container-parameter framework.session.name and defaults to the session.name value from your php.ini.

$cookieName = $this->container->getParameter('framework.session.name');
$response->headers->clearCookie( $cookieName );

The remember_me-cookie's name can be configured in your security configuration.

security:
    firewalls:
        your_firewall:
            remember_me: 
                name: neverforget # <- cookie-name
