Move it to the Rubbish Bin? This link cannot be used, because its target "/media/Acer/Users/Steven/Pictures/My Pictures" doesn't exist." For a beginner this message is startling, and suggesting that it should be deleted worrying, and not particularly helpful. The best option from a usability point of view would be to mount the disk, but I bet that's hard to do. Second best, do not offer to delete it, and say something along the lines of "The file or directory that "My Pictures" links to (/media/Acer/Users/Steven/Pictures/My Pictures) is not currently available. You should check that the disk is mounted."
