How to Delete a Junction by Using Command Prompt in Windows 7
I believe in Windows Vista, we could use linkd
command. However, I cannot find this command in Windows 7. I know I can use Windows Explorer and delete the junction, but I wonder if this can be done in Command Prompt.
I can use mklink
command to create a junction from a Command Prompt, so, what is the opposite of it (something like linkd
)?
Solution 1:
Delete junctions with rmdir
(rd
). Works in all Windows versions.
Solution 2:
In my experience fsutil reparsepoint
will take care of some cases where rmdir
gives Access Denied.
fsutil reparsepoint delete <<PATH>>
