JOKING - PLEASE DON'T DO THAT!
I had to ask, because It's the link, not the target file that I want
to remove. I know all you billion times experienced symlinkists
may find this very elimentary, my dear Whatson, but us types that

that experience to draw on, and the manual was not very

- backup
- experiment
- check results
= good result - can safely delete backup
= bad result - restore from backup and try again
BTW, this is offered advice not a telling off. (It is hard to get the correct tone into these e-mails from recent experience).
I tend to be a bit conservative with a small "c",

I need to find time to read that Advanced bash scripting pdf file.
