It took me way too long to realize symlinks were a thing and why I couldn't understand my Linux directories
-
I created a symlink to the directory the symlink is in. If I try and simply 'delete' the symlink in a file browser it tells me that gigs of data will be deleted
You'll want to delete it from the CLI, then. Try the
unlinkcommand -
I think ntfs does some weird shit with translating names of files in different languages too, and maybe they are simlinks
Say desktop is translated to ntesctop in some language, the real file is still desktop but there is a link as ntesctop --> desktop so without changing the system it flips from one language to another. I am not sure, I haven't really spent much time on it, in recent years I did some installations at work but never got to play with it much.
I don't think that does an actual rewite point. A lot of the localisation features were done using file explorer. You can even "localise" folders yourself using custom desktop.ini files. But those changes only showed in file explorer.
Now email! In exchange the standard folders such as inbox are localised, but don't have a fixed alias. So if doing administration you need to know the language of a mailbox to know the name of say the Calendar folder, so you can update permissions.
