What version of Lucene are you using? As of 2.1, Lucene should remove such partially created files immediately on hitting the OOM exception, and if somehow it failed to do that (eg if JVM had crashed or machine running JVM crashed, etc) it should then remove them the next time a writer is created on the index.
However, versions before 2.1 can leave partial files in the index indefinitely (ie requiring manual removal).
