Another explanation is you are not calling IndexWriter.commit: older index files (merged away segments) cannot be deleted until that operation is done.
Before doing any changes to your readers, trying calling IW.commit and see if that also frees up the disk space. If it's really that you are failing to close some readers, consider using a SearcherManager: it simplifies managing the readers.
