When using soft link for a single directory (for example, `ln -s /etc/ /tmp/etc.slink`), if the user wants to delete the soft link file, please note:

* The command `rm -rf /tmp/etc.slink/` will delete **all** files under the directory /etc/. The correct way is to not add the trailing "/" character, such as `rm -rf /tmp/etc.sink`. For beginners, it is especially necessary to pay attention to!

Please start with unlink command and then the rm way... But it's never a good idea to do a rm -Rf for something that is not a directory (R is for recurse and is not necessary)
