I created a symlink using mklink
. Now I need to change it but I can't figure out how to delete it so I can recreate it correctly.
Answer
Be very careful.
If you have a symbolic link that is a directory (made with mklink /d
) then using del
will delete all of the files in the target directory (the directory that the link points to), rather than just the link.
SOLUTION: rmdir
on the other hand will only delete the directory link, not what the link points to.
