Removing files on a limit access backup server

Question

I have an account on a backup server but it's full, so I need to clear it. The problem is that

• It's only accessible via FTP, SFTP and Rsync (no shell)
• Deleting lots of small files (as in, multiple full Linux installations), which I have to do, is undoable over FTP/SFTP because it cannot recursively delete directories in one command (Yes, most clients will fake this by issueing all the seperate commands for you but the overhead is huge and the process takes several days...well it crashes before that).

What do I do?

Answer 2

You could look at using WinSCP and it will delete the files one at a time without you needing to select each one, as WinSCP will issue the command to delete each file if needed.
