Let me guess, are you on windows? This is actually expected behavior. The first optimize actually does optimize the whole index. When the optimize finishes, it can't delete the old files because they are still in use by the current IndexSearcher. If you were on UNIX, the files would be deleted sooner (or at least like like they were). In short, Solr + Lucene are doing the right thing... just optimize once, and don't worry about it. -Yonik
