"Set full permissions on folder first, then try deleting it again:

CHMOD 777 <folder>

Also check it does not contain files with names that begin with ""."", as these may appear hidden.
Eg,

DELETE .htaccess"

FTP isn't a reliable way to check to see if a directory is empty or not. Do you have local access to the machine?
