| None of the FTP/SFTP tasks support directory tree deletion. There is no solution to this from AbleFtp. |

| do you think it is possible to loop on subdirectories and delete each one, one by one? |

It will be difficult in AbleFtp 7.x even if you have a matching/mirrored local directory that you can get the subdirectory names from.
In 8.x, if you have matching/mirrored local directory, you can get the subdirectory names using the Subdirectory Loop task. Then for every loop, set the Ftp delete task remote directory name and run the Ftp delete. |
