UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Ok, so I have an nfs mount setup and within it there are symbolic links to other directories and such.

So anyways I created a link to a directory like so


ln -s /var/stuff/more/stuff/here/ stuff/

and i ended up with directory stuff with link 'here' inside.

so i was pieved and decided redo and

rm here

no good says its a directory, so i try

rm -ri here

and it wants to delete all the files in the normal directory, Why cant I just get rid of the link.

Any help is appreciated.





Edit:

figured it out, Before when using tab completion it added a '/' to the end of the link name.

so rm here/ didnt work but rm here did.

As per my understanding u want 2 delete a directory......right?? if no then plz clarify it in details....
