Simply you can delete as a file.. if using GUI.. then right click and delete it or use rm !

Dear Ricky:
Thanks for that. I found out the problem was the permission.
I logged on as root to build the link and I used my own account to log on so I could not delete it...
Back to root everying is done by rm -l command.
Thanks for your help any way.
