Apple OS X: Remove a Symbolic Link (Symlink) Command

To remove a symbolic link (also known as a symlink) in Apple OS X, you can use the following command:

rm /path/to/symlink

Replace “/path/to/symlink” with the actual path to the symlink you want to remove. This will remove the symlink itself, not the target it points to. If you want to remove the target, you can use the -f option with rm to force deletion:

rm -f /path/to/symlink
