d*** good question! Glad you asked it. Being that I have made a number of symlinks based on howto's & guidance received, one would think that one should know how to undo them. I didn't, so, started looking. I read that it's important to remove them if you have symlinked to the kernel (which I have done) and want to update to a new kernel.

As best as I can report, run "ls -l" & this will give you a list of all your symlinks. Mine was 492 (in root) which was a supprise as I had only created 3 or 4. Evidently every package you load creates its required symlinks -- that's why so many.

Also, as best as I can report, you treat a symlink just as you do any other file & once you find it, just "rm" it.

Let us know how you fare.
