bool filesystem::remove(const path& p); bool filesystem::remove(const path& p, error_code& ec) noexcept;
Effects: If exists(symlink_status(p, ec)), the file p is removed as if by POSIX remove.

A symbolic link is itself removed, rather than the file it resolves to.
â end note]
Postconditions: exists(symlink_status(p)) is false.
Returns: true if a file p has been removed and false otherwise.
[Note 2:
Absence of a file p is not an error.
