Previously the files and folders that were symlinked could not be deleted as they had a validation check that confirmed whether the file was outside the media directory path. As realpath resolved symlinks to actual paths, the checks failed if in case the actual path were outside the base path. This prevented the action from getting completed.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"box-shadow: 0 0 16px #cccccc; padding: 10px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><strong>Also Read: <\/strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"\/blog\/how-to-provide-an-excellent-customer-service-through-your-magento-store\">How to Provide an Excellent Customer Service Through Your Magento Store?<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Magento has come up with it latest version Magento 2.2.5 on June 27th, 2018.
