Have you tried deleting the folder through FTP or remote connection?

I think he want's to delete a folder IN that folder, not the public_html folder itself.

Yea, try FTP or WebDisk. Otherwise try the other version of the file manager, theres two, maybe its in the permissions.

It does sound like he is trying to delete public_html though, which is not possible, because this is where the servers will direct web traffic too.

I agree to Nathan. You cannot delete folders that are set default by the administrators.

[Sohail]

I don't think there is anyway to do that and there wouldn't be any reason to do so because that's where you keep all your hosted files, anything in the directory below that a files related to the hosting including your cPanel and cannot be deleted.

Deleting public_html in linux is not possible as you dont have the right because you may not be the super user.
If you want to delete some directory . You will have to use -r option through command line for recursive deletion of all file inside that folder.
