Remove symlink on Msys

Question

I used msys to create a symlink. Now I wish to remove it, but here's what I get:

$ ln -s /mypath mylink
$ rm mylink
rm: cannot remove directory `mylink': Is a directory

What's the proper way to remove a symlink on msys?

Answer 1

Symlinks on MSys2 aren't real symlinks but copies. So you can actually use rm:

rm
    -r, -R, --recursive   remove directories and their contents recursively

Example:

rm -r mylink
