I've never heard of it DELETING files, but I have heard of it changing
permissions, and occasionally failing (eg, if there files/folders with
spaces in the name).

Anyhow, removing a symlink is just like removing a file (with rm). You
can restore the symlink later, if necessary, using 'ln -s'

man 1 rm
man 1 ln
