I haven't tested the code, but I guess this should work:

import arcpy

# settings
gdb = r"C:\Path\to\your\FileGeodatabase.gdb"
arcpy.env.workspace = gdb

# create a list of rasters in the folder
rasters = arcpy.ListRasters()

# loop through raster in list
for raster in rasters:
    try:
        arcpy.Delete_management(raster)
    except:
        print "Raster '{0}' could not be deleted".format(raster)

Kind regards, Xander
