Thanks otis, I copied the index and I am playing around with the copy. I first had to change the code to force the unlock of the directory. and from what you just said all the new segments that are in my directory the index doesn't know about them so deleting them shouldn't hurt.

The merge and the new index is "finalized" at the very end of the merge, so if it failed before that, your Lucene index (the segments file) still doesn't know about the newly created segments that you see in you index directory. My suggestion: copy your indices, play with copies and see what happens.
