Lars, The code looks fine. However, you are not showing how you deal with any possible exceptions (IOExceptions, for instance), so it is possible that you are ignoring exceptions. Thata delete(Term) method returns an int, so you could also capture that and see what its value is. I assume that you are also closing your IndexReader instance...
