 |
|
I got a directory that I made a link to,
I can't seem to remove the linked directory no more ><
I've tried:
rm -Rf dir/
rmdir dir/
unlink dir/
keep getting the same error not a directory... |

Do you want to post (in a [ code ] block, of course) these cmds and
their output:
and all of your remove-cmds? Also, are you running as root, or tux?
(I'm using "tux" to mean a non-root user.)
By "link" do you mean a symlink? ("symbolic link")

Farkenell, if you feel that your problem is [SOLVED],
would you consider marking it as such? Only you can edit the
title of the first post in the thread.
