You have to check (using ftp_chdir) for every "file" you get from ftp_nlist to check if it is a directory:

foreach($filelist as $file)
{
    $inDir = @ftp_chdir($conn_id, $file);

    ftpDelete($file)

    if ($inDir) @ftp_cdup($conn_id);
}

This easy trick will work, because if ftp_chdir works, the current $file is actually a folder, and you've moved into it. Then you call ftpDelete recursively, to let it delete the files in that folder. Afterwards, you move back (ftp_cdup) to continue.
