Pointing Music to Where the Music Is

My Music exists on a different drive to Deeping 15.3 (/mnt/Seagate3TB/Music).

In previous versions of Deepin I would delete the Deepin Music folder and creat a symbolic link to my actual Music folder. "sudo rm -r --force Music" does not work anymore. Even if it is a bad idea/not reccomended users should be able to achieve this with "--force"!

Anyhow, with right click "roperty" (should be Properties) I was hopeful the new file manager would have this built in. Next, right click "Create Link". No luck with both.

So 2 questions:
1 - What is the reccomended way to link up your Music folder (and Pictures, Video ect)
2 - If a user can't break their own install with "sudo rm -r --force Music" then its not Linux/free/open. Would this work once I've ended the process of the File Manager or something?


Thanks

Additionally Lollypop & Sayonara players don't appear to be working correctly in 15.3. Lollypop can't find Music, even if its in ~/Music and Sayonara has no GUI!

Thanks horvan. sudo rm -rf worked like a charm. With the folders deleted, symbolic links worked great. Still having problems with certain music players but I'll make a separate thread.
