how to run a command as soon as user exits from session
I need to write a script, where I have to get names of files that are to be deleted from a user and have to delete those files when he exits session.

How to set a particular command to be run as soon as user exits from a session?

Can somebody help?

I have to write a script on linux system. There is no desktop environment on the system and users log in through SSH.

It depends on many factors (your system, what session - console or desktop environment or ssh or something else, shell, how a user enters a session and what do you really want - to control a user or for yourself, etc.).

I believe your question has no information for an answer.
