Cleaner is a contributed module that allows you to set a schedule for clearing caches, watchdog, and old sessions.
There are functions in Drupal which will cause "expired" entries in some cache tables to be deleted. This was improved in Drupal 7. "Minimum_cache_lifetime" is a partial solution, but still not totally complete.
There are still times and/or cache tables that don't get cleared in any of those scenarios. Many sites will not be impacted by this, but a few will (just search on Drupal.org and you will see many posts from people having problems).
