Directory not empty when calling rmdir recursively

[mrmnmly]

I'm trying to remove folder with its contents using rmdir method with recursive parameter that is set to true.

Documentation says:

If recursive, this call will delete the contents of the directory if it is not empty.

But I'm getting an error:

throw new Error(err)
             ^
Error: Error: /path_on_ftp: Directory not empty

Anyone tried similar operation? Please help.

I also have this problem.

In my case it works on directories that only contain files, but on directories that contain other directories it fails.

Here's the error that I get, I'm not sure how usefull it is since I use your library through promise-ftp. I'll try to reproduce it with your library alone on monday.

{ Error: /htdocs/images/icons: Das Verzeichnis ist nicht leer

Ok I just tested it with this library and it seems to work now. So in my case the issue is probably with promise-ftp

I cannot delete a folder that is not empty :(

this is my code :

c.on('ready', function() {
switch(itemType){
    case 'file':
        c.delete(itemID, function(err) {
            c.end();
            callback(err);
         });
         break;
    case 'folder':
        c.rmdir(itemID, true, function(err) {
            c.end();
            callback(err);
        });
        break;
    default:
        callback(true);
        }
    });

And I'm always getting the same error:

error:  { [Error: Can't remove directory: Directory not empty]
  cause: { [Error: Can't remove directory: Directory not empty] code: 550 },
  isOperational: true,
   code: 550 }

Any idea?
