Don't use the del command, as it will recursively delete all the files under the target directory.

Use rmdir to delete just the symbolic link itself.

So, to make before/after-save-hook work again, experts start to adding hooks to major mode specific hooks like this: emacs.md - Go (opensource.google) """ ;; Optional: install eglot-format-buffer as a save hook. ;; The depth of -10 places this before eglot's willSave notification, ;; so that that notification reports the actual contents that will be saved.
