I'm 99% sure that what you have on the desktop is a copy of the
folder, not an Alias. Aliases are just pointers. If you click on an
Alias, it opens the actual folder on your hard drive. So if you
delete something in there, it will be deleting from the original
folder. There is nothing inside the Alias to delete. Here's how to
create an alias:
1. Navigate to the folder you want an ALias for.
2. Press VO-Shift-M and choose "Make Alias" from the context menu.
3. Press enter to accept the default name which will be the name of
the folder plus the word "Alias"
4. Copy the Alias to the desktop.
5. Delete the original copy of the Alias that is in the same location
as the folder to which it points.

Still they don't update themselves. I delete a pod-cast on the
desktop it doesn't delete it from the original. My question is why?
To continue the file path podcast/macbreakweekly/episode. If this is
the alias I put on the desktop as a alias and I delete episode in
the alias I still have a copy of what was deleted in the original.
