- RMDIR directory$
- directory$ is a relative path to the directory to delete.
- Directory path must be a literal or variable STRING value designating the folder to be deleted.
- If the directory contains files or folders, a file/path access error will occur.
- If the directory path cannot be found, a path not found error occurs.
