The SshExec class didn't work for me, but a little Reflection magic worked:

var prop = sftp.GetType().GetProperty("SftpChannel", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance);
var methodInfo = prop.GetGetMethod(true);
var sftpChannel = methodInfo.Invoke(sftp, null);
((ChannelSftp) sftpChannel).rm(ftpPath);
