I mean I feel stupid typing it now, but I’ve been using Windows since I was 5 years old, and Linux for about 30 days. It was not apparent to me that many of my folders were actually shortcuts to stuff in my user directory, and now that I know to look out for them the location of my applications make sooo much more sense.
That beginners guide says to avoid creating circular symlinks. What if, entirely hypothetically, I already have a circular symlink?
Delete one
I created a symlink to the directory the symlink is in. If I try and simply ‘delete’ the symlink in a file browser it tells me that gigs of data will be deleted
You’ll want to delete it from the CLI, then. Try the
unlinkcommand
