If it's not a folder, you'll find out when the next thing you
try to do to it fails.

You could check for it earlier, but there's still the possibility
of a race condition -- someone could delete the folder and replace
it with a file in the meantime. Or just delete it and not replace
it with anything. So you need to be prepared to deal with failures
at any point.
