On my server, I only once have had something that would not delete.
However it was not a ghost, but a file that I created. When you set up
ftp for others to download from, a special high level file is set up to
handle the ftp downloads for pages you wish others to download. This
file only has a number given to it by the program reached from the
control panel that sets up the ftp. I changed my mind about what I
wanted to do and tried to delete the special folder. However you just
get messages that the folder can not be deleted. I called the host
company, and they said they could do it. However I must send them the
file number I wanted deleted by email. I did this, and within 30
minutes the file was gone. I guess they were trying to protect their
backside by having the request for deletion in writing.
