I setup my Apple TV to share my files via an FTP server on my PC (Filezilla) because, like others, I was having lots of buffering issues using SMB, but now I'm not able to delete video files via XBMC. The option to delete in XBMC is turned on, and I've enabled the user option to delete in Filezilla. Previously, when sharing via SMB, after removing a video from my library, it would give me the option to delete the file from my PC. That option no longer shows up, it simply removes the file from my library and leaves it on my PC. Anyone know how to get that option back when using FTP sharing?

I'm not sure that option was ever there for FTP, so you can't really 'bring it back'. Specific code has been added for deletion via SMB which is why it worked before.

Since it's not what upnp was designed for, I'd be really surprised. upnp has not authentication that I am aware of, so it'd be insecure to allow deletion.
Your best bet is to figure out why your SMB sucks. It's definitely not ATV2, I use SMB against my linux based NAS everyday to push 720p and 1080p over ethernet or wifi N.

I too have set up my XBMC to scan FTP shares only, after reading all the different threads about HD buffering problems.
Would really like to be able to delete files from FTP shares, given the right permissions!!!
