powershell how to remove broken symlink
Solution 1:
Try:
cmd /c rmdir testlink
cmd doesn't know about rm
Solution 2:
Use the mountvol /d command
List the GUID:
PS C:> Mountvol
then
PS C:> mountvol \?\Volume{2eca078d-5cbc-43d3-aff8-7e8511f60d0e}\ /d
replacing the relevant GUID in the above
Solution 3:
I use .net from powershell to do this
[System.IO.Directory]::Delete($Path,$true)
Where $Path is equal to the path of your symlink. rmdir does not provide consistent result and will almost always return an error when run from powershell, regardless if it was successful or not.
