So what I ended up doing was instead of creating the folders like you did, I basically changed the script so that it connected via ftp and created the folders. That way I wasn't stuck with the folder permission issue because it was then created by the ftp user and not "nobody" which was why I was unable to delete the folder. "Nobody" owned it literally lol. Thanks for the help and taking the time to come back to me on this. Thanks for coming back to me on this, I actually forgot that I posted a message on here.

I should probably have written a warning about that (sorry). I think you were on the right track with the permissions. If you are having trouble changing the permissions of the files to delete them, then hopefully you should be able to get PHP to delete them for you using the unlink() function. If you've never used it before you can find it over at php.net: http://php.net/manual/en/function.unlink.php. I hope this helps.

I have got it working only when testing I hit refresh about 4 times because I was having a connection issue and it so happens that it wasn't my connection it was down to the script executing. Now I have 4 files on my FTP which I don't seem to be able to delete... I have even tried a force delete via cpanel but to no avail :( Any help would be appreciated? I thought it was permissions so I tried changing those and it wouldn't allow that either. I would appreciate the help for sure, Thanks in advance, Jon I am learning PHP and came across your script… I have got it working only when testing I hit refresh about 4 times because I was having a connection issue and it so happens that it wasn’t my connection it was down to the script executing.
