PowerShell script: ArcDirMatcher.ps1
As you can see, rather simple.
It outputs to a text file in the archive folder, (ArcDirMatcher.txt), that can be easily edited to a command file and then run to remove the folders.
Sample Output
Rem -- Replace 'Matches:' with 'rmdir /s /q' in a text editor,
Rem -- then rename the extension from '.txt' to '.cmd'
Rem -- and run it to remove folders.
