This is the recursive function I've created/modifed and that finally seems to be working. Hopefully there isn't anything too dangerous in it.

function destroy_dir($dir) { 
    if (!is_dir($dir) || is_link($dir)) return unlink($dir); 
    foreach (scandir($dir) as $file) { 
        if ($file == '.' || $file == '..') continue; 
        if (!destroy_dir($dir . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $file)) { 
            chmod($dir . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $file, 0777); 
            if (!destroy_dir($dir . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $file)) return false; 
        }; 
    } 
    return rmdir($dir); 
}
