Reset to default

There is actually a better solution implemented in Sublime Text. Select Preferences-> Settings - User and set remember_open_files and hot_exit to false. The resulting file should look like this: 

{
    "remember_open_files": false,
    "hot_exit": false
}

(All the possible settings can be seen in Settings - Default.)

Just restart Sublime Text afterwards (it may be required to restart the program two times, one time to apply the settings) and it should start up without any open files.

Note: I only was able to test this with Sublime Text 3, but I am pretty sure that this settings exist in version 2 as well.

    Although this is correct, this does not help if Sublime Text crashes on start-up.

  • What is the difference between the two: remember open files and hot exit? Because if I have hot_exit set to true, then the condition "remember_open_files" seems to be automatically satisfied (i.e. true hot_exit will also keep the open tabs :)

Sublime Text 2

Check the content of the directory ~/.config/sublime-text-2/Settings for a file called Session.sublime_session

If those files are included in there, remove them

Sublime Text 3

ST3 stores the session files under:

~/.config/sublime-text-3/Local/Session.sublime_session

  • Unfortunately ST2 seems to create that file again. I solved that creating an empty file with read only permissions. Thanks.

  • It looks like the files been renamed Auto Save Session.sublime_session, so to rm its rm -f ~/.config/sublime-text-3/Local/Auto\ Save\ Session.sublime_session

  • ~/.config/sublime-text-3/ does not exist?

    On Windows, it's "%APPDATA%\Sublime Text 3\Local\Session.sublime_session"

In Sublime Text 3, below worked for me.

$ rm ~/.config/sublime-text-3/Local/Auto\ Save\ Session.sublime_session
