		 It is probably a group / owner issue.  If that folder was generated by a script it was probably as user "nobody" and if you don't have root access you'll have to get your host to delete it.

		 Still sounds like an ownership issue. Get a superuser to nuke it for you.. Can you do other things with it like change other permissions etc?

		 usually through telnet or ssh client 
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
	
	if your c-panel allows you to execute any *nix command from browser then you can do that there  |

	Does the folder have a name? I have left my ftp open for a friend to download something... someone found my open ip and fucken uploaded all this porn shit... I was able to delete the files... but not the directories... it kept telling me they did not exist. I had to format the drive to remove them.... nothing else worked. Good luck.  |
