    Probably the single quotes might not be necessary and both the referenced table and the new table that is being created have to be on the same Engine (MyISAM in this case).

    CREATE TABLE `aucs_manufacturer_files` 
( `id` INT PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT , `manufacturer_id` INT NOT NULL,
FOREIGN KEY (manufacturer_id) REFERENCES aucs_manufacturer(manufacturer_id) ON DELETE CASCADE)
ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

    Without knowing a lot about the other table that you are trying to reference, it’s hard for us to guess certain information. I put together this SQLFiddle to demonstrate a working solution.

    create table am (
  id int unique not null auto_increment
)
ENGINE=INNODB;
CREATE TABLE amf
( `id` INT unique NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT , `manufacturer_id` INT NOT NULL,
FOREIGN KEY (manufacturer_id) REFERENCES am(id) ON DELETE CASCADE)
ENGINE=INNODB;

insert into am(id) values (null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null);
insert into amf(id, manufacturer_id) VALUES (null, 1),(null, 2),(null, 3),(null, 2),(null, 1),(null, 4),(null, 6);
delete from am where id = 6;

    If you run the SELECT * from amf you will see that there are no values with the manufacturer_id as 6, meaning that the cascade worked correctly.

    try this, hope this would work:

      CREATE TABLE `u914452720_yzawa`.`aucs_manufacturer_files` 
    ( `id` INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT , `manufacturer_id` INT,
    FOREIGN KEY (manufacturer_id) REFERENCES aucs_manufacturer(manufacturer_id) ON DELETE CASCADE)
    ENGINE=INNODB

    After you fixed the single quotes that should have been backticks or removed altogether, you have:

    CREATE TABLE `u914452720_yzawa`.`aucs_manufacturer_files` (
    `id` INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT , 
    `manufacturer_id` INT NOT NULL,
    FOREIGN KEY ('manufacturer_id') REFERENCES aucs_manufacturer(manufacturer_id) ON DELETE CASCADE
) ENGINE=INNODB;

    And you are getting this error:

    #1075 - Incorrect table definition; there can be only one auto column and it must be defined as a key

    This has nothing to do with the foreign key; it results from specifying auto increment for a column that is not a key. Presumably you meant to say:

    `id` INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,

    (If you end up with yet another error after fixing this, please make sure to edit your question with the new create statement, error message, and output from show create table aucs_manufacturer.)
