Description

When trying to delete a symlink to a folder, it tries to remove it as a folder with channel.rmdir(relpath) because getType() indicates FileType.FOLDER.

This results in a FileSystemException: Could not delete, Caused by: 2: No such file.

Because it's not a folder, it's a symlink and sould be deleted with channel.rm(relpath).
