Hi Chris, In my experience it is safe to delete older indexes like that. You might want to check if the index is in use prior to deleting it via the `lsof` command on linux or the equivalent on other platforms. I've found that most times, if the index isn't the one specified in index.properties then `lsof` won't show Solr as using it.
FWIW I'm pretty sure there's a bug in Jira about old indexes not getting purged but I can't find it right now.
