I guess I don't understand about symbolic links...
I thought that all links under the symbolic link "/test"
would be symbolic as well, and would not actually delete the

Think of it kind of like a speed-dial.

1. If you delete the speed dial, that doesn't do anything to the real

2. If you dial the speed dial, you get the same real person at the
other end, not a symbolic person. :)
