Remove symbolic link through shell

Hi,

I created a Django Mezzanine application on my shared hosting which I then no longer needed and removed through the control panel. I had also created a symbolic link for static content and the associated application. I've deleted the application but having gone into the server via shell I can see that the link is still there.

How do I delete the link? Ive tried with a simple rm command but it tells me permission is denied.
