There is nothing we can do. As Jeff pointed out app itself removes files then
replaces it with a temporary file it creates:

trace:file:CreateFileW L"Z:\\home\\tony\\Desktop\\lwp02a41.5d5" GENERIC_READ
GENERIC_WRITE FILE_SHARE_READ  creation 3 attributes 0x80
trace:file:CreateFileW L"Z:\\home\\tony\\Desktop\\lwp02a41.5d5" GENERIC_READ
GENERIC_WRITE FILE_SHARE_READ  creation 2 attributes 0x8000080
trace:file:DeleteFileW L"Z:\\home\\tony\\Desktop\\eraseme.lwp"
trace:file:MoveFileWithProgressW
(L"Z:\\home\\tony\\Desktop\\lwp02a41.5d5",L"Z:\\home\\tony\\Desktop\\eraseme.lwp",(nil),(nil),0002)

Per symlink semantics when you remove it you remove the symlink no the file it
points to. But even if Wine will do a workaround to remove the actual file
there is nothing you can do about renaming another file with the name of the
symlink. It will fail.
