I made these directories in DirectAdmin, January '10 and January'10, butt I can't seem to delete them. When I select it to delete it, I get an error;

Unable to delete directory /***/public_html/uploads/January '10: The directory /***/public_html/uploads/January '10 is not empty

So when I go to the directory to delete the items in it; I get an error:
Invalid path: /***/public_html/uploads/January '10, Paths must also begin with a forward slash (/)
To copy/move files with the clipboard, add the source files to the clipboard with "Add to Clipboard", go to the directory where you wish to copy/move the files, then click "Copy Clipboard Files here" or "Move Clipboard Files here"

And there are no files shown in it...
What do I do?

Look at the specific directory with a root shell. First navigate into the directory, then:

# ls -al
Then delete anything in that directory.

Then you should be able to delete the directory.

didn't understand anything of your explanation, but that's just me, still a starter. managed to fix it via combination DirectAdmin and ftp, so it's fixed.
Thanks anyway!
