+Type: Documentation-only
+
+Allowing a [`fs.Dir`][] object to be closed on garbage collection is
+deprecated. In the future, doing so might result in a thrown error that will
+terminate the process.
+
+Please ensure that all `fs.Dir` objects are explicitly closed using
+`Dir.prototype.close()` or `using` keyword:
+
+```mjs
+import { opendir } from 'node:fs/promises';
+
+{
+  await using dir = await opendir('/async/disposable/directory');
+} // Closed by dir[Symbol.asyncDispose]()
+
+{
+  using dir = await opendir('/sync/disposable/directory');
+} // Closed by dir[Symbol.dispose]()
+
+{
+  const dir = await opendir('/unconditionally/iterated/directory');
+  for await (const entry of dir) {
+    // process an entry
+  } // Closed by iterator
+}
+
+{
+  let dir;
+  try {
+    dir = await opendir('/legacy/closeable/directory');
+  } finally {
+    await dir?.close();
+  }
+}
+```
