Review Comment:
   This `RemoveAll` unconditionally removes the entire table directory (data 
files included) after `PurgeFiles`. But `PurgeFiles` intentionally skips 
data-file deletion when `gc.enabled=false` (see `table/orphan_cleanup.go`), so 
this regresses that contract — the SQL catalog preserves data in that case (cf. 
the `gc.enabled=false` test in `catalog/sql/sql_test.go`, and the 
`PurgeableTable` docs in `catalog/catalog.go`).
   
   Please gate the `RemoveAll` on the loaded table's `gc.enabled` property 
(when GC is disabled, only remove metadata/empty dirs, not data), and add a 
Hadoop `PurgeTable` test with `gc.enabled=false` that asserts referenced data 
files survive.
