I have had this before with a completely different server and had
to ask the server people to delete it. I never got any feedback,
they just said they had deleted it and it was indeed gone.

It is possible to get undeletable (using FTP) files if you create files
using PHP. The PHP created files have the Apache UID and if the
permissions are restricted then deletion via FTP will fail because FTP
will be using your account UID. Can you check the permissions and UID
of the files to see if they match those of files you have uploaded ?
