How do I get rid of a symbolic link?
I think I typed in the wrong pathway and now I want to delete the symbolic link I set up. I was tryign to install java as a firefox plugin, but I made a mistake somewhere and I thought I would start over. Anyway, I see the error message that starts telling me that there is no such file as the symbolic link I tried to set up. Is there are an easy way to get rid of these?

Why did you need to create a symbolic link to Java for Firefox? If you installed Firefox or Java via YaST it would have automatically created the link.

Say you have symbolic link /bin/foo pointing towards /usr/games/share/bin/foo, and you want to get rid of /bin/foo just do:
Code:rm /bin/foo
