Cannot delete files with Filezilla

Question

Once I wrote a PHP script which should have downloaded a some images to a normal webserver. Something went wrong with this script and now I have a lot of files in one directory with the filesize 0. When i try to delete one with filezilla the server just responses:

550 nameOfTheFile.jpg: No file or directory

what can I do the get rid of all this datatrash?

It seems like there are only the filenames saved on the server, but not the files

Here's a piece of code I found here

As per original comment

<?php

$dir_stack = array('test/'); // put the directory to delete here **NOTE** everything in this will be deleted.
$i = 0;
while ($i <= count($dir_stack)-1)
{
    echo $dir_stack[$i].'<br>';
    if ($dir = opendir($dir_stack[$i]))
    {
        while (false !== ($file = readdir($dir)))
        {
            if ($file != "." && $file != ".." && false == is_dir($dir_stack[$i].$file))
            {
                unlink($dir_stack[$i].$file);
            }
            elseif ($file != "." && $file != "..")
            {
                array_push($dir_stack,$dir_stack[$i].$file.'/');
            }
        }
        closedir($dir);
    }
    $i++;
}
$i = count($dir_stack)-1;
while ($i >= 0)
{
    rmdir($dir_stack[$i]);
    $i--;
}
?>

Answer 2

this is the code i have found and surprisingly it worked

<?php

$dir_stack = array('filedirectory'); // put the directory to delete here **NOTE** everything in this will be deleted.
$i = 0;
while ($i <= count($dir_stack)-1)
{
    echo $dir_stack[$i].'<br>';
    if ($dir = opendir($dir_stack[$i]))
    {
        while (false !== ($file = readdir($dir)))
        {
            if ($file != "." && $file != ".." && false == is_dir($dir_stack[$i].$file))
            {
                unlink($dir_stack[$i].$file);
            }
            elseif ($file != "." && $file != "..")
            {
                array_push($dir_stack,$dir_stack[$i].$file.'/');
            }
        }
        closedir($dir);
    }
    $i++;
}
$i = count($dir_stack)-1;
while ($i >= 0)
{
    rmdir($dir_stack[$i]);
    $i--;
}

?>
