Hi, just in case anybody else notices similar behaviour - I called removeFileAtPath if an fileExistsAtPath check on the alias evaluated to true - BUT fileExistsAtPath method only returns true on an alias if the original file / app is present. The removeFileAtPath method on its own will quite happily delete an alias whether the original file is present or not AFAIK.

I can't seem to find another method that will do the job. Any help or advice to resolve this would be greatly appreciated.
