All deleted indices get recovered by ES

hi

i have made some indices in ES using java api and direct curl commands. i
check the data folder in ES home and see about 350 indices, so i want to
delete it cause i dont need any of them and they were all tests.

i tried to delete all by using:
curl -XDELETE http://localhost:9200/_all
this action sometimes leaves some of these folders located in "...\elasticsearch-0.90.5\data\elasticsearch\nodes\0\indices" and sometimes works correctly and deletes all.
but the problem is that everything ever deleted gets recovered at the next run of elasticsearch startup.
i have also tried deleting with the java api and shift+delete in windows explorer with same results.
the most disturbing thing is that i can see indices created before i installed my win7 64 bit(indices created when i was using win7 32bit).
so how does elasticsearch find my old indices(from previous windows installation) and how can i stop it from recovering?

thanx in advance

I should correct something, the indices dont comeback as soon as i start ES
again. they come with the first rest query that ES receives. for example:
curl -XPUT http://localhost:9200/verynewindex
