Create a directory with today's date and delete one with yesterday's

[ALAN_BR]

An infinitely simpler system would be to NOT delete a folder with a name matching Yesterdays date.
Instead delete ALL folders whose name does not match today's date.

Or even simpler, delete all folders that were not created/modified today.

That not only gets rid of yesterday's folder, but on Monday it will get rid of Friday's folder (assuming a Monday to Friday working week).

The only requirement is that these folders must be sub-folders within one one common parent folder (and this parent never deleted).
