Soft Linking - How to remove!?

Summary:
I added a soft link to a page (using the ln -s command). I was using this as a "symbolic link", so users would not know they had been redirected to a new URL (they would only see the URL they had typed in, even tho the content isn't there).

However, I created an incorrect link when I used the ln -s command. I am very new to UNIX, so hopefully this question is logical...

What is the command for removing the soft link, without removing the original file?

Thanks in advance!

just rm the link just like you rm a file.

you will "break" the link and not delete the actual data
