Your JVMs (at least one of them) are not able to process the command, so
you should check out the data directory where the file of the index to be
deleted are located. Shut your cluster down, remove the index files of the
index to be deleted from the filesystem, and start the cluster up again.

To avoid such situations, find out why the JVMs could not react, most
probably there are exceptions in the server logs, and fix the trouble.
