Symbolic Links

I am linking a directory as follows:

ln -sf /home/xxx/userid/real_files/* /home/xxx/userid/linked_files

This gives me symbolic links for all the files in the real_files directory in the linked_files directory. My question is, if I go and remove a file in the real_files directory and then go back to the linked_files directory and do an ls -l <file_name> that file shows up. Is this a known problem ? Even if I redo the link the file still appears to be in the real_files directory, the only way to remove the reference (that I've found) is to remove my linked_files directory and then do the link command again.

Thanks
