A trailing separator makes the operating system resolve a symlink in the last path component, so lstat reports a directory for "link/". File.rm_rf/1 then listed the link target, removed every entry inside it and, on some systems, the target directory itself, even though the documentation states that symlinks are not followed. Strip trailing separators from the path before inspecting it, so the link itself is removed. Paths inside the tree were already normalized by Path.join/2, so only the top-level entry changes.
