Greetings, Linda Walsh!
I sometimes use "rmdir *" to clean up empty dir's.
There's a known issue about difference in Windows and *NIX handling of
directory removal in many cases.
I would say, you drop such practice and be more explicit in your actions.

You are saying POSIX allows directory removal to behave
differently if it is running on Windows?
I'm not running this in explorer, or cmd.com
I'm running in bash, using rmdir.
