I use WS_FTP95 as my ftp. Sometimes when I try to delete a folder it won't let me because it says it's not empty. When I go into the folder I can't find any files.
How can I get rid of these folders?

Go in via SSH and make sure there aren't any hidden files (.htaccess for example).
Stepping On Wires - the new blog
i use filezilla(ftp program) to delete hidden files like .htaccess
also Mark could you respond to you PM.
or there's an option to enter -al in each site Startup tab > Remote file mask.
Saves having to do it each time

Thanks. I've been having this problem for the whole five years that I've been building sites. I never thought to ask until yesterday though. Haha.
While on the topic, how can I change it so that I can delete whole directories all at once without having to remove the files from each folder first? It takes a long time to delete some things directory by directory.

Dreamweaver can do this - once the sites FTP details are set login from the Site Window and select the folder you want to delete. It'll chug away deleting all nested files and folders.
