Moving a Directory script to a folder

[Name Trader]

I just bought a directory from somebody and I'm in the process of transferring it to my own server. In the process, I moved the directory from the root directory to a subdir called /dir. Everything appears to have gone smoothly, except that now the directory appears to work in both the root and the /dir subdirectory, even though there is nothing in the root directory other than an .htaccess file and an empty robots.txt file. everything else has been moved to the /dir subdir. I've 301 redirected the index.php from the root to the subdir in the .htaccess file. Here is my .htaccess file..

So is there something wrong in my .htaccess file, or, maybe I need to correct something else. Any suggestions are welcome.

ok. I put it back in the root directory until I get an answer as to why this happened.

7. If you are running your directory under a subfolder of your domain (example: http://www.your-domain.com/directory/) please edit the .htaccess file. In this case you need to add the folder name in the "Error Document 404" statement: - Error Document 404 directory/index.php?httpstatus=404
