Description
If you select a non-empty directory and delete it, it will take a huge amount of time because Cyberduck will list it recursively to delete file contents in each subdirectory first. This is very inefficient for large directories and can take hours to delete! There is a trick on FTP servers to delete non-empty directories that should be used.

Did you follow the link above? it says you can use rm -r for recursive deletion on ftp servers!
Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.
Unfortunately the FTP protocol does not support recursive delete.
