http://www.fmi.uni-passau.de/archive/doc/unix/unixhelp/Unixhelp/tasks_links3.2.2.html (Einblicke ins Internet, 10/1995)To remove a directory that is a symbolic link that points to another directory use the command:
rm directory_name
Notice that the directory does not need to be empty and you do not have to use the rmdir command. You are not really removing a directory, just a named symbolic link that points to the "real" directory.
