I'm not a Windows programmer; I merely took a peek to see if the crate is blatantly malicious, and it looks like it isn't.

The code is well-commented. Uses unsafe sparingly, just to call WinAPI — no high-performance tricks. Some comments refer to alignment issues, which shows the amount of thought that went into the code; nice.

Crates in the crates.io registry are tarball snapshots uploaded by crates' publishers. The registry is not using crates' git repositories. There is absolutely no guarantee that the repository URL declared by the crate belongs to the crate, or that the code in the repository is the code inside the published tarball. To review the actual code of the crate, it's best to use cargo crev open remove_dir_all. Alternatively, you can download the tarball of remove_dir_all v0.8.2 or view the source online.
