FitNesse caches the pages.  If you delete the directories from the  
file system without telling FitNesse about it, then it uses it's cache.

You can delete things from fitnesse by sending it the url:

http://localhost:port/MyPage?deletePage&confirmed=yes

See the user guide: RestfulServices
or http://fitnesse.org/FitNesse.UserGuide.RestfulServices
