@cindex directories, removing with @code{unlink}
@findex unlink
@pindex fsck
Use the @code{unlink} function unconditionally rather than attempting
to check whether the file is a directory and using @code{rmdir} if it
is a directory. This can be useful on corrupted file systems where
@code{unlink} works even though other, file-checking functions fail.
For directories, this works
only if you have appropriate privileges and if your operating system supports
@code{unlink} for directories. Because unlinking a directory causes any files
in the deleted directory to become unreferenced, it is wise to @command{fsck}
the file system afterwards.
