I've had problems with this for some time now. Here's what I can share with you. In 2.4.3, build 7, I can not get delete directory to work. In build 8 it seems to work, but in that build there are some other issues with commands related to delete directory. Namely, if you try to rename a file in build 8 and you supply bad data in the newName variable like a non-existent folder, the file either gets deleted or moved somewhere where I can't find it.
