We have a forum and someone whom we trusted had the FTP password, now that has been compromised, we changed the passwords on the FTP and database, but somehow they keep deleting the files, is there anything from the old files (if the attacker downloaded them) that would allow them access since we keep restoring the back ups?

Check for any rogue administrator/moderator users, change database password...basically change every password. Even then you might remain vulnareable. You can open a ticket at vBulletin Support if you have that access. They are usually really helpful with these.Comment

Finally, FTP is not secure. Passwords are transmitted in plain text using this protocol. You should talk to your hosting provider about SFTP or FTP over TLS for more security.
