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, dont 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.
Its 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
```
