How to undo this?

Question

I set up a soft link on my MAMP system like this

ln -s php5.3 php5

but I think it might have been the cause of system problems that just appeared

does anyone know how to undo it?

Answer 1

rm php5

The symbolic link is a file and can be removed by rm like regular files. This won't affect the target.

Answer 2

Use unlink instead of rm, it's much safer.

unlink php5

Answer 3

Delete the symbolic link like this:

rm -i php5
