Is it safe to delete these?

I feel like you're holding a gun asking if it's ok to shoot, but you
haven't told us which way it's pointing.  I'd be curious to know the
filenames in question and the query your running to look for these
files... might also suggest doing a vacuum full on your cluster to see
if their filesizes change at all...  but if you've got that cowboy
feeling going i'd say shutdown the database, backup the directory,
delete the files, and fire it back up...
