Currently there is no easy way to do this. I would need to think how
you can force the index to drop those so the answer here is no you
can't!

I've stored the contents of some pages I no longer need. How can I now

My understanding is that field.setValue("") won't do since that should
affect the indexed value as well.
You could pump the content of your index through a FilterIndexReader -
i.e. implement a subclass of FilterIndexReader that removes stored
fields under some conditions, and then use IndexWriter.addIndexes with
this reader.
See LUCENE-1812 for another practical application of this concept.
