First of all, there is not such thing as "folders" in S3. Most S3 clients (including the AWS web console) show them as folders only for convenience (grouping stuff), but in fact, what you see as a "folder name" is merely a prefix.

Being that said, my suggestion to you is using the listObjectsInBucket API call, passing in your "folder name" as prefix in the S3ListObjectsRequest parameter.
When you have obtained all the keys (file names including prefix) matching that prefix, use the deleteObjects API call, passing in the keys in S3ListObjectsRequest parameter.

For more details on folder/prefix and deleting stuff, please see these related links:
