Directory may refer to:
Directory (computing), or folder, a file system structure in which to store computer files

However most users of computers, rather than programmers, make no distinction and now have no idea what a directory is.

Thanks to Apple and Microsoft, the term directory is not being used and the incorrect term folder is being used. No matter what anyone says, folder is wrong and always will be.
