Deleting a lnk file from the desktop

General
1

I am trying to delete a link file from the desktop using this:
Dim f As FolderItem
f = SpecialFolder.Desktop.Child(“file.lnk”)
If f.exists Then f.Delete

The result is the deleting of the executable, that the lnk file is linking. I just want to delete the lnk file from the desktop, not the executable.
How can I delete this file?

…or use shell command (“del %DESKTOP%\file.lnk”) as Alternative…

Use TrueChild instead of Child.
