MKLNK not deleting symbolic link

[ad1c]

I'm using TCMD 13.04 on a Windows 7 Enterprise system. File system is NTFS

I can create a symbolic link, but I can't delete it. Any idea what's wrong?

c:\home\unified\fcc>mklink FCC.20121216.log FCC.log
Symbolic link created for FCC.20121216.log <<===>> FCC.log

c:\home\unified\fcc>dir FCC.20121216.log

12/18/2012 14:40 <SYMLINK> FCC.20121216.log [FCC.log]

c:\home\unified\fcc>mklnk /D FCC.20121216.log

c:\home\unified\fcc>dir FCC.20121216.log

You're creating a symbolic link with MKLINK, and then trying to delete it with MKLNK (which doesn't support symbolic links).

If you want to delete a file symbolic link, just use DEL on the symbolic link name.
