The following command removes all symlinks to nonexistent files:
find / -name "*" -type l ! -xtype f ! -xtype d -ok rm {} \;
Unless it's linked to a special file, or socket, or some other file type.
The find manual says this:
``-P -xtype l''
True if the symbolic link is broken
I didn't try it, but I presume that means
find / -P -xtype l -ok rm '{}' \;
would be a more robust way to accomplish the task.
Best,
Karl
