Any session really. In this particular case I had the SIP helper still on and it messed up the session of course. Debugging the flows I got the session number and want to clear the session by ID so the new session would begin without the SIP helper enabled. Also helpful if you have something natted, change the nat and want to make sure that changes have taken effect, etc ...

System-->Status-->Statistics-->Sessions(Details) Then you filter by service, policy ID and clear it.
