[support] How can I reset "who is online: guests" counter?

[Jarry]

Do you mean the whole `sessions` table, with all fields, or just
some of them (uid, sid, hostname, timestamp, cache, sesssion)?
Should I use "TRUNCATE TABLE" or "DROP TABLE" (phpmyadmin)?

I'm a little bit scared, because I'm not familiar with mysql
and I do not want to do something wrong. Are you sure this
table will be re-created later, when needed?
