How to delete soft links in linux?

How to delete soft links in Linux:

First we create a file

#mkdir test_chk
#touch test_chk/test.txt   
#vim test_chk/test.txt (这一步随便在这个test.txt里写点东东即可)

Let’s create a soft link to the test_chk directory

#ln-s test_chk     test_chk_ln

Now that the soft link is created, let’s see how to delete it

Correct deletion method (Delete soft links, but not actual data)

rm -rf  ./test_chk_ln

Wrong deletion method

rm -rf ./ test_chk_ln/ (This will delete the content under the original test_chk)

Now you can see the difference, so in the future everyone will use rm -rf to delete When using soft links, be careful! ! ! !
