I'm afraid I am not familiar with Nautilus, but here are some thoughts which might help. Could this be something related to having a following "/" when running the rm command? What I mean is that the following two commands are not the same: rm /home/alexander/Desktop/Bilder and rm /home/alexander/Desktop/Bilder/ the latter will try to descend into the directory Bilder. The former will only remove the symlink Bilder from the desktop directory. Not sure how Nautilus runs it, although the error shows that it does not descent? Of course all of the above may become further complicated when the command transcends fs mounted with restrictive access rights (as far as the shell executing the command is concerned). Hopefully, someone more knowledgeable than I can help here. -- Regards, Mick
