Your question is a while back but after running into this problem a zilion times i found a way to reset the Rstudio Shiny Server session without the need for admin rights on Rstudio Shiny Server:

• put temporarily as first line in server.r : quit("yes") # FORCE CLOSE OF SESSION server

• go to the site and it will crash (the session closes straight away)

• delete or comment out: # quit("yes") # FORCE CLOSE OF SESSION server
• go to the site and you will have the shiny app with a new session =^)

Works for me and saves a lot of time searching through all kind of system folders or the need to enter a part of the system that you are not allowed to go or needing admin rights on Rstudio Shiny Server.

I hope this helps.
