I got the following big annoying problem: On my FP account, I have a directory that I can't delete. Inside this directory is another directory which cannot be deleted too. Inside this last folder is nothing, but trying to delete he folder gives me the error:
550 dir: Directory not empty

I'm quite sure that there is no file inside (yes, hidden files are displayed!), so what can be the reason ?

Also try deleting it in Windows Safe-Mode.
No programs or drivers running.
Hold down F8 during boot.

No, it's not on Windows, it's on FTP. I cannot delete a folder in FTP ...
