Have you deleted all the files in those directories first?

Nope..
usually I just delete thru my FTP client or Cpanel, and it also dumps the files..
I looked in the folders and they're empty

Check the ownership on the folders. Sometimes, scripts create folders/files but don't give correct account ownership. Your host should be able to delete them.

F5 and/or Refresh the page. Log out and log back in. On Windows? Reboot and log back in. Those would be the first three things I'd do.

View the properties of the folder (right click > Properties maybe?) and it should list the Owner and Group. If the Group is not your hosting account username, then it is not owned by your hosting account, therefore, the server cannot give you permission to delete it. You'll probably need to contact your host to have them delete the folder(s). They have root (Super User) access.

You might have a hidden file like a .htaccess file that is in there that it won't let you delete.

Hi, Have you checked for hidden files i.e. .htaccess or .htpasswd? Your FTP client should have an option to show hidden files. NN

At my office we make it so you can't delete your own folders because too many times it is dne by accident and then it is a big nightmare to get the backups live. We do this to protect our less savy clients from themselves. Contact the server administrator and tell him what you want to do.
