Ive tried
rm -r *
rm *
rmdir *
rmdir -r *
rm -r * + rm * together
rmdir -r
im going insane... can someone put me out of my misery?

LIBSSH2_ERROR_SOCKET_TIMEOUT -
LIBSSH2_ERROR_SFTP_PROTOCOL - An invalid SFTP protocol response was received on the socket, or an SFTP operation caused an errorcode to be
