find -type d -delete only deletes empty directories (you can add -empty to avoid error messages, but don't have to)

But -delete also remove files, instead rmdir never delete files, only directories. Both (-delete and rmdir) check the directories if they are empty before deleting. | |

why not just -delete instead of -exec rmdir {} \;?
