An adverb is a descriptive word that modifies a verb. 'Delightful' does not modify a verb (eg the sentence "Dave delightful glanced at Karen, who melted" does not make sense, because 'delightful' isn't an adverb), and therefore is not an adverb. In a sentence that uses 'delightful': "Dave found Karen an absolutely delightful person," 'delightful' describes what Dave thinks of Karen as a person, not his actual idiomatic finding. Therefore, one may conclude that 'delightful' is an adjective, not an adverb.
