Re: Link file or directory question

Use the rm command to remove the link (not the original) so use:

rm symlinkfile

or rm -rf symlinkdir
nothing wrong with me that a few lines of code cannot fix!

Re: Link file or directory question

To be more explicit, if you:

>RegularFile
ln -s RebularFile LinkedFile

As you know, you will now have the following from an ls:

RegularFile
LinkedFile

To remove the link:

rm LinkedFile
