You can use the -H flag when copying 'cp -RH' and it will follow the symlink's target rather than copying the symlink itself. But either way that symlink exists in the subjects/bert folder and the existence of those symlinks is inconsequential to the actual running of qdec or other programs, as long as you are analyzing a different subject.
