Sometimes with near disastrous results. Your AFS admins had better beware about working under Windows, otherwise any slight forgetfulness on there part can wipe out entire volumes.To follow symlinks, or not to follow symlinks, that is the question.
That is what question? And to whom are you posing it? A symlink is not an object that Windows knows how to describe. It is reported to Windows as a directory if it points to a directory and as a file if it points to a file. The behavior you are seeing is the behavior that Windows provides when you delete a directory. It deletes all of the files under the directory and then the directory. To remove a symlink, use right click for the context menu select AFS Select Symlink Select Remove
