How to Remove (Delete) Symbolic Links in Linux
|
|
||||||
======
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You may have the opportunity to create or remove symbolic links on Linux.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If yes, do you know how to do it?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Have you already done that? Are you aware of that?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If yes then there is no problem. If not, don’t worry, we are here to help you with this.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This can be done using the rm and unlink commands.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### What is Symbolic Link?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
A symbolic link, also known as a symlink or soft link, is a special type of file that points to another file or directory in Linux.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
It’s similar to a shortcut in Windows.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
It can point to a file or a directory on the same or a different filesystem or partition.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
In general Symbolic links are used to link libraries. Also, used to link log files and folders on mounted NFS (Network File System) shares.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### What is rm Command?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The **[rm command][1]** is used to remove files or directories. This is very dangerous and be cautious every time you use the rm command.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### What is unlink Command?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The unlink command is used to remove the specified file. It is already installed as it is part of the GNU Gorutils.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### 1) How to Remove Symbolic Link Files Using the rm Command
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The rm command is one of the most frequently used commands in Linux. Furthermore, it allows us to remove the symbolic links as described below.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
# rm symlinkfile
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Always use the rm command with the “-i” switch to understand what is being done.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
# rm -i symlinkfile1
|
|
||||||
rm: remove symbolic link ‘symlinkfile1’? y
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
It also allows us to remove multiple symbolic links at once.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
# rm -i symlinkfile2 symlinkfile3
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
rm: remove symbolic link ‘symlinkfile2’? y
|
|
||||||
rm: remove symbolic link ‘symlinkfile3’? y
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### 1a) How to Remove Symbolic Link Directories Using the rm Command
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This is like removing a symbolic link file.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Use the below command to remove Symbolic Link directory.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
# rm -i symlinkdir
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
rm: remove symbolic link ‘symlinkdir’? y
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Use the below command to remove multiple Symbolic Link directory.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
# rm -i symlinkdir1 symlinkdir2
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
rm: remove symbolic link ‘symlinkdir1’? y
|
|
||||||
rm: remove symbolic link ‘symlinkdir2’? y
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you add _**“/”**_ trailing slash at the end, the symbolic link directory cannot be deleted. If you add, you get an error.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
# rm -i symlinkdir/
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
rm: cannot remove ‘symlinkdir/’: Is a directory
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You may need to add the **“-r”** switch to deal with the above problem. If you add this, it will delete the contents of the target directory, while it will not delete the symbolic link directory.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
# rm -ri symlinkdir/
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
rm: descend into directory ‘symlinkdir/’? y
|
|
||||||
rm: remove regular file ‘symlinkdir/file4.txt’? y
|
|
||||||
rm: remove directory ‘symlinkdir/’? y
|
|
||||||
rm: cannot remove ‘symlinkdir/’: Not a directory
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### 2) How to Remove Symbolic Links Using the unlink Command
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The unlink command deletes a given file. It accepts only a single file at a time.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
To delete symbolic link file
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
# unlink symlinkfile
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
To delete symbolic link directory
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
# unlink symlinkdir2
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you append the _**“/”**_ trailing slash at the end, you cannot remove the symbolic link directory using the unlink command.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
# unlink symlinkdir3/
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
unlink: cannot unlink ‘symlinkdir3/’: Not a directory
|
|
||||||
```

在 Linux 中怎样移除（删除）符号链接
|
||||||
|
======
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
你可能有时需要在 Linux 上创建或者删除符号链接。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
如果有，你知道该怎样做吗？
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
之前你做过吗？你踩坑没有？
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
如果你踩过坑，那没什么问题。如果还没有，别担心，我们将在这里帮助你。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
使用 rm 和 unlink 命令就能完成移除（删除）符号链接的操作。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 什么是符号链接？
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
符号链接又称 symlink 或者 软链接，它是一种特殊的文件类型，在 Linux 中该文件指向另一个文件或者目录。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
它类似于 Windows 中的快捷方式。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
它能在相同或者不同的文件系统或分区中指向一个文件或着目录。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
符号链接通常用来链接库文件。它也可用于链接日志文件和在 NFS (网络文件系统)上的文件夹。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 什么是 rm 命令？
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
这个 **[rm command][1]** 被用来移除文件和目录。它非常危险，你每次使用 rm 命令的时候要非常小心。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 什么是 unlink 命令？
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
unlink 命令被用来移除特殊的文件。它被作为 GNU Gorutils 的一部分安装了。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 1) 使用 rm 命令怎样移除符号链接文件
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
rm 命令是在 Linux 中使用最频繁的命令，它允许我们像下列描述那样去移除符号链接。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
# rm symlinkfile
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
始终将 rm 命令与 “-i” 一起使用以了解正在执行的操作。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
# rm -i symlinkfile1
|
||||||
|
rm: remove symbolic link ‘symlinkfile1’? y
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
它允许我们一次移除多个符号链接
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
# rm -i symlinkfile2 symlinkfile3
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
rm: remove symbolic link ‘symlinkfile2’? y
|
||||||
|
rm: remove symbolic link ‘symlinkfile3’? y
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 1a) 使用 rm 命令怎样移除符号链接目录
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
这像移除符号链接文件那样。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
使用下列命令移除符号链接目录。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
# rm -i symlinkdir
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
rm: remove symbolic link ‘symlinkdir’? y
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
使用下列命令移除多个符号链接目录。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
# rm -i symlinkdir1 symlinkdir2
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
rm: remove symbolic link ‘symlinkdir1’? y
|
||||||
|
rm: remove symbolic link ‘symlinkdir2’? y
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
如果你增加 _**“/”**_ 在结尾，这个符号链接目录将不会被删除。如果你加了，你将得到一个错误。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
# rm -i symlinkdir/
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
rm: cannot remove ‘symlinkdir/’: Is a directory
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
你可以增加 **“-r”** 去处理上述问题。如果你增加这个参数，它将会删除目标目录下的内容，并且它不会删除这个符号链接文件。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
# rm -ri symlinkdir/
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
rm: descend into directory ‘symlinkdir/’? y
|
||||||
|
rm: remove regular file ‘symlinkdir/file4.txt’? y
|
||||||
|
rm: remove directory ‘symlinkdir/’? y
|
||||||
|
rm: cannot remove ‘symlinkdir/’: Not a directory
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 2) 使用 unlink 命令怎样移除符号链接
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
unlink 命令删除指定文件。它一次仅接受一个文件。
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
删除符号链接文件
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
# unlink symlinkfile
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
删除符号链接目录
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
# unlink symlinkdir2
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
如果你增加 _**“/”**_ 在结尾，你不能使用 unlink 命令删除符号链接目录
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
# unlink symlinkdir3/
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
unlink: cannot unlink ‘symlinkdir3/’: Not a directory
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
