Just for my own curiosity, why are they still there if they are empty?

I take it you're using GNU tar? What version? If it's older than
1.13.17 (even better, 1.13.19), the index files may be corrupt.
Go to your index directory and look at one of the files. If each line
has a very large number on it, that's a symptom of a broken tar.
