=== Clean-Up Old Symlinks
There may be some dangling symlinks in the filesystem after an upgrade. You can clean the dangling links by installing the symlinks utility and deleteing the old links.
[source,bash]
----
sudo dnf install symlinks
----
Once the utility is installed you can audit for broken symlinks like shown below. `-r` means recursive.
[source,bash]
----
sudo symlinks -r /usr | grep dangling
----
After you verify the list of broken symlinks you can delete them like shown below. `-d` means delete.
[source,bash]
----
sudo symlinks -r -d /usr
