Have you ever had a directory on your webspace, you could not delete because it was not empty - but you could not see any file in it?
Or do you know,
on your webspace are not invisible directories, created by a script you used once upon a time between ice age and copper age, but no more today and they will use too much space?
Can you use php on your webspace?
Save this script to your harddrive and rename it to "erase_pts.php" (erase points), delete "dot txt" on end of filename and load it up into your webspaces main directory or where you will need it and call it by your browser.
http://haufenzeug.de/cs/erase_pts.php.txt
Navigate across subdirs downwards by using the listed "directories" - links and upwards by using the "parent directory" - link.
In case, a dir - or a filename will begin by a dot to make a dir or file invisible, this script will show them - and offers a fat red link to remove a dir or to unlink a file.
Once you click on a fat red link, you do handle on your own risk.
I will not carry any responsibility.
On doubts please do not click - get first informations what consequences a click on a fat red link will have. It might be, that will be contents, your provider installed for you.
Still I will help you in case there is a question (once I know to help), OK?
How it will look you can see here (it is an html - file, not a php - file, it does not work)

--- edited --- Excuse me please, I forgot,
once your provider switched "secure_mode=on", you might get "warning" error messages and this script does not follow your will. In this case I must make a stupid face - no solution, sorry, - except you will talk to your provider.
