Are you certain that you have these addons installed using the full latest distributions, and that the command line is set up properly and so on? It is very easy to miss a file and cause the server to crash.

The file ending in ".RPT" that is in the "cfg" folder of your FTP should show errors that cause the server to crash or not start, and can be of great assistance in troubleshooting such problems.

You have full access to delete anything you've uploaded through the FTP, but to do this, you have to stop the server first. The server locks all files when it's running.

That isn't always the case. Just because a server is not online does not mean that the process is completely stopped. When in such a frozen state, files will typically be locked as if the server was online. Using the option to stop the server once more will completely stop the server process.
