> Folder directory??? Did they also delete the "file document"?

I obviously don't know how accurate this piece is but a "folder directory" is, or at least used to be, a legit way to describe a folder full of folders.

You'll see outdated/unorthodox terminology like this all the time in old systems, and even some newer ones that were built or maintained by people who aren't native English speakers. Daily WTF used to be filled with this kind of stuff.

Thanks, that's interesting.
