it depends on what is index expression. if it is large string then no wonder the index is large for several million records.
you can limit the index expression in length by left() fuction or index on hash function which will return integer and reduce the size of index greatly.

These indexes won't go away unless you'll delete them manually. You create them manually, then why do you expect them go away without your intervention?
