Solve : something is confuzzling me.?

Answer»

I need to write part of a BATCH file, that goes out to a folder, deletes all folders that have numbers in them (meaning they are strictly numbers) and nothing else. I have tried, and am probably not understanding rmdir, and also rd... but neither are working properly, for what I need to do. does anyone have any ideas?im sorry this may be off topic and i apologize in advanced but what kind of word is confuzzling?!?!?!.....lol

It is an American English jocular variant of "CONFUSING". (Surely you could have guessed that from the context in which it occurred?) You have to imagine a kind of white haired bearded Burl Ives type of Southern guy saying "These here new fangled Intarwebs sure are confuzzlin' me! Yee Har! I guess I'll just whip up a batch of corn pone!"
Type rd /? or rmdir /? at the command prompt to see the params.mmagruder, POSSIBLY the folders you are trying to remove are not empty? Rmdir / RD will fail in that situation, unless you use certain switches. Or maybe you do not have sufficient admin rights.

"Not working properly" is not ENOUGH INFORMATION. Perhaps you could show us (1) what code you are using and (2) what error messages you are getting?

They are the same command. Whether you use rmdir or rd, you get the same code running.
