Deleting the carts isn't the issue (really), it is that the same [cart] number is being used by multiple clients. What you need to do is track the cart numbers which have been assigned (like in an order file) and at the top of each page where the cart is displayed, make sure that this cart hasn't been used before. If it has, redirect to the same page minus the cart (so you create a new one). If you stored your cart in a cookie, it would'nt be an issue at all (since most search engines won't store cookies).
