C# storing info and clearing correctly

sockets

Hi All,

I have a Socket server and Client in c#. When someone connects, i store that socket and i also store a bunch of info about it in a dictionary. Say one of them disconnects, whats the best way to clear that particular info? Also, do i need to even store acceptedSockets? I'm not using it so should i just call

ListenFromClient( TCPServerForClient.AcceptSocket( ) );

in the thread instead?

Code Below:

class ClientInfo
        {
            public string strTimeConnected  =   string.Empty;
            public Socket clientSocket, technicianSocket;
        }

        //Used to count the number of connected clients
        List< ClientInfo >  clients                 =   new List< ClientInfo >( );

        //Used to store the number of connections
        List< Socket >      acceptedSockets         =   new List< Socket >( );
        
        //Holds an ID and collected info of client
        Dictionary< string, ClientInfo > clientMap1 =   new Dictionary< string, ClientInfo >( );
        //Holds Socket of technician and tech info collected
        Dictionary< Socket, ClientInfo > clientMap2 =   new Dictionary< Socket, ClientInfo >( );

Than further down after server is running i am doing this:

Socket newAcceptedClientSocket = TCPServerForClient.AcceptSocket( );

//When Connection From Client Is Made, Add To The Accepted Sockets
acceptedSockets.Add( newAcceptedClientSocket );

                //Launch A New Thread And Wait For A Client Command To Be Received
new Thread( ( ) =>
{
    //Spawn The Thread In The Background
    Thread.CurrentThread.IsBackground = true;

    //Listen To What The Client Is Saying
    ListenFromClient( newAcceptedClientSocket );
} ).Start( );

clientNew.strTimeConnected      =   DateTime.Now.ToString( "HH:mm:ss tt" );
clientNew.clientSocket          =   clientSocket;
clientNew.technicianSocket      =   null;
clients.Add( clientNew );

if( !clientMap2.TryGetValue( clientSocket, out tmp ) )
     clientMap1.Add( clientNew.strId, clientNew );

Thanks in advance. I need the info, but also need it gone if someone disconnects. Maybe i'm storing it incorrectly and there's a better way?

What I have tried:

Iterating array, but there is no order in a dictionary, nor an index.

Thought about using array instead
