Telling us the version of lucene and the OS you're running on is always a good idea.
A guess here is that you aren't closing index readers, so the JVM will be holding on to deleted files until it exits. A combination of du, ls, and lsof commands should prove it, or just losf: run it against the java process and look for deleted files. If you're on unix that is. -- Ian.
