I need to grant users in a group to delete the directory and files inside the directory. I have added all the users to group named "fileHandlers". I want all users in this group to have permission to create files or folders and delete them.

drwxr-sr-x 2 www-data fileHandlers 4096 Nov 26 13:13 7005C0FA85E4A0B445E77C126EEB8056

In the above example only www-data is able to delete this files. how can i extend it for all the users in group "fileHandlers"

Use ACL or just grant them write permission: chmod -R g+w whatever

You need to give the users (i.e., the group)
write permission to the directory:

chmod g+w dirname

For them to be able to delete the directory itself,
they need write permission to the parent directory.
