It depends on the relative timing. If the old IndexReader is still open when the optimize completes then the files it has open cannot be deleted.
But, if that IndexReader hadn't been reopened in a while, it's possible it did not in fact have the files of the just-merged segments open (in which case the delete would succeed).
