However some mbox.ev-summary files aren't deleted, not even after shutting down evolution (even with the --force-shutdown option) and restarting.
mbox.ev-summary is not used for body-indexing and is always used (there is no way to turn them off).
Is there any reason why some of these files aren't deleted?
see above.
In one folder the mbox.ev-summary still exist even though the mbox is 0 bytes large:
yea, known bug. the summary will update once mail is delivered to it tho, so it doesn't actually cause any application problems (it just wastes a little disk space until the folder gets more mail)

you can delete the mbox.ev-summary file, but not the others.
