Deleting a Soft Link

If you find that a permanent soft link has outlasted its original purpose, or if you prefer not to wait until a soft link's assigned expiration and extension times have been reached, you can delete the soft link from the namespace yourself.

To delete a soft link, you must have delete permission to the soft link, or administer permission to the directory that stores the soft link.

dcecp> link delete /.:/dist/pointer_1
dcecp>
