Is it possible to do that? Why do I have to delete everything in side the folder then delete the folder itself?

Quote: You can login to ftp using shell and delete it that way.

What's shell? And how do I use it?

If you have the pro version, you can set it to allow folder deletion.

Actually if you go into your Control panel in your account that you have for your website..you can set permissions for deleting full folders
