rmdir problem in Molinux

[M. David Frost]

Hi,
 
 I'm a fairly new Linux user and computer literate, but not a geek.
 
 I've tried to remove an empty directory  as follows ("filename" being the name 
of the directory that I'm trying to delete):
 
 rmdir filename (error message - directory not empty)
 
 rmdir -rf filename (error message - invalid option -- r)
 
 When I type:
 
 dir filename
 
 the directory is empty.
 
 So I created a new directory with a new file inside and tried:
 
 rmdir filename
 
 and
 
 remdir -rf filename
 
 and the results were the same.
 
 When I typed:
 
 dir filename
 
 for this new directory, the contents were listed.
 
 Does the Molinux distribution not support -rf? And what is the solution?
