-Use the @code{unlink} function unconditionally rather than attempting

-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.
