I made this symlink years ago in the Terminal, but now can't find a way to undo it.

The Documents directory is SPECIAL and can't be changed with the "unlink" or "rm" commands.

Anyone know how to enter the proper command in the Terminal to undo this symlink?

Er, what is the symlink? What were the command lines you used for unlink and rm?
Equally important, what were the error messages, if any?

Please copy and paste them from the Terminal window, rather than paraphrasing them or trying to guess what they were. Command-line error messages often have specific wording and information that can help identify a cause.
