Problem :
I have a link file as below
testlnk -> /home/wemohamm/Desktop/script
But I am unable to delete the link.
If I use rm testlnk, I get error
rm: cannot remove `testlnk/': Is a directory
If I user rmdir testlnk I get error
rm: cannot remove `testlnk/': Is a directory
When I use rm -rf, it deleted the contents of /home/wemohamm/Desktop/script
Finally unlink command throws this error
unlink: cannot unlink `testlnk/': Not a directory
Solution :
Something that ends with a / must be directory. You can’t rm directory. You can remove the link, but the link is called testlink, not testlink/ (which is the directory you get when you follow the link).
