symbolic link deletion.

Hi.

I wonder if someone could tell me how to delete the symbolic links and folders that contain them.

Normal ftp does not do the trick.

I have tried to find out but have had no luck.

Arthur.

symbolic links are generally owned by the "root" user, so you will probably need root permissions to be able to delete them.

Edit-- You would need to be the same user as what the links were created by to delete them. They may have been created by the webserver user when the store was installed. Check what user created them by ftp and then you will need to remove them as that user (or as root)

Thank you Jim.

I had to ask our host to remove them for me.
