I took some time to write my own version of a recursive delete function over ftp, this one should be fully functional (I tested it myself).

Try it out and modify it to fit your needs, if it's still not working there are other problems. Have you checked the permissions on the files you are trying to delete?

function ftp_rdel ($handle, $path) {

  if (@ftp_delete ($handle, $path) === false) {

    if ($children = @ftp_nlist ($handle, $path)) {
      foreach ($children as $p)
        ftp_rdel ($handle,  $p);
    }

    @ftp_rmdir ($handle, $path);
  }
}
