Nope. In the future, check the help. There is a list of all functions at :help function-list. In this case you could also probably get your answer by typing :help dir and then typing CTRL-D instead of Enter to see a list of matching topics.

For deleting directories in a script, you can check to see what netrw uses as its rmdir command, by using the g:netrw_rmdir_cmd variable. But you'll need to shell out to use it via system() or :!. And this variable is not set by default, you'll need to default to something based on your OS yourself, with has('win32') and similar checks.
