Please have try a try use the following URL to delete the directory 

 private const string DeleteUrl = "https://{0}.azuredatalakestore.net/webhdfs/v1/{1}?api-version=2017-08-01&op=DELETE&recursive=true";

If recursive=true then will delete all of the files in the directory include the directory itself.

If recursive=false and there are files in the directory will get 403 forbidden error.
