You could use a user profile model to help with this (see [1]). In your user profile, have a flag that indicates whether the user is registered or not. Then periodically go around and clean up (delete) any users that do have registered=True in the user profile. You cannot automatically do this "when the session is completed", since you won't know when that is. Most users don't bother to log out of websites or anything like that. How can you tell the difference between "user has gone to lunch and will be back in 20 minutes" and "user has finished using the site and will never be back"? You can't. You just have to do something like deleting temporary users after 24 hours.
