looking for a script that only checks a folder and in the folder if, there is only one folder that starts with "abc_cdf" exits. If there are more than one folder starting with "abc_cdf", delete the ones that are older than 5 days. This script does not go inside the sub folders. It is not recursive.

popular common easy stuff but not enough.:
for /f "delims=*" %%x in ('dir /b /ad-s-h C:\dirx\abc_cdf*') do rd "%%x" /s /q

Look into forfiles.exe as it can handle a range of days old and is native to Vista and higher.
xxcopy also has good date handling capability, and is free for personal use.
