This also works
        rmdir ./-S
(& is probably the best generic naming method, & was valid decades
ago, before rm got the luxury of modern stuff eg -- & would work
for other commands that might not have delimieters such as -- )
This also work but is over kill :
        rmdir './-S'

Cheers,
Julian
