You have to contact the host and tell them to change the owner of those files. It's most likely a Linux server, and you uploaded some CMS via FTP (your user) and some files via HTTP (probably user 'apache' or 'none'). If this is the case, you can also upload a simple Web File Manager and delete them via web (if you can't find any, PM me).
