 * Hi, deleting directories was an old feature that was removed for security reasons.
   I am planning to put it back again after consultation with security experts. 
   For the moment, you need to delete them manually using an FTP client.

 * My FTP client would not let me delete however I installed the plugin WP-FileManager
   and that let me delete directories with their files included.
 * Thanks for the prompt reply.
