This change removes
FILEGetFileNameFromSymLink
, which attempted to resolve the target that a symbolic link pointed to (and would get it wrong for relative links).It was being used in a few PAL functions for file/directory deletion and moving/renaming. For instance, deleting a symlink would delete the file it pointed to. With this change, those operations will work as expected (moving or deleting a symlink won't affect the target of the symlink).
I've also added checks for symlink handling in the PAL tests for
DeleteFileA
andRemoveDirectoryA
