Error Running script on SFTP server, RMDIR and RM with wildcards

Im going insane trying to figure out what i consider a basic command on an SFTP server...

Im trying to download all files from a directory *done*
then remove all the files (and sometimes folders that contain files) i have downloaded on the remote directory...

the command i would normally use is rm -r *

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?
