MATLAB: Dir() gives extra information

foldersMATLAB

Hello, I wanted to just get the number of subfolders from a specific main folder. The main folder contains files, together with sub-folders. How do I get just the number of folders?
If I use
size(dir())
I get everything in the main folder. How to get just the number of sub-folders?

MyFolderInfo = dir('myfolder');
mask = ismember({MyFolderInfo.name}, {'.', '..'});
MyFolderInfo(mask) = [];   %get rid of . and .. directories
num_subfolder = sum( [MyFolderInfo.isdir] );
