{
    var r = (FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(uri);

This is the code i ended up using thank you all for the help really appreciate it.

private void deleteToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        ResultLabel.Text = "Deleting: " + listView1.SelectedItems[0].Text;
        ResultLabel.Show();
        this.Refresh();
        textBox1.Text = TxtServer.Text + listView1.SelectedItems[0].Text;
        FtpWebRequest request = (FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(textBox1.Text);
        request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.DeleteFile;

        request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(TxtUsername.Text, TxtPassword.Text);
        FtpWebResponse response = (FtpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
        ResultLabel.Text = "Deleted: " + listView1.SelectedItems[0].Text;
        response.Close();
    }

I just fully rewrote the code and tried again and it worked.
