It occurred to me overnight that the delete that I almost did would
remove links, but probably not what they're pointing to. There are
13800+ links there. I don't know how much space the real files on the
other end of those links take up, and I haven't found a way to get a
total of that space. I studied the "rm" man page, and saw no option to
have "rm" follow those links and delete the real files on the other end
of them. I also saw no indication that rm does that by default. So how
do I do the recommended deleting including having the real files on the
other end of links deleted? With 13800+ links, that could add up to a
lot of space.
Where do they link to?
