Can I delete this recursive link to my Home directory?
In command line you´ve more power with the following code line
cd ~ && unlink steve
so you´re shure that only the symlink will be deleted and not the complete home path :)
Simply running rm ~/steve
is safe:
specifying "~/steve" (not "~/steve/", with a trailing slash) means
rm
will work directly on the link and not follow it, as it would if you enter "~/steve/".even if you mistyped "~/steve/", deleting with
rm
will not delete a directory unless you give it a "-r" option.
