Whenever I attempt to cd
my Downloads
folder to run a C# program that I have written, I keep getting this message. When I try moving the file to snap and/or socket (the only two which are responding to the cd
command), it does not appear there. How do I fix the issue with "too many levels of symbolic links"?
root@LAPTOP-040SRHIO:~# cd Downloads
-bash: cd: Downloads: Too many levels of symbolic links
