When I delete a folder in the workspace (using the delete action offered by the Navigator or Project Explorer) which contains linked resources (folders or files) the link targets are removed from the filesystem. I'd expect the same behaviour as when deleting linked resources directly (only link is deleted, resources on the filesystem untouched) instead.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Create a folder 'somefolder' in the filesystem and a file 'somefile' in it
2) Create a simple project in eclipse
3) Create a folder 'parent' in that project
4) Create a subfolder 'child' that links to 'somefolder' (Advanced tab in the wizard)
5) Select "Delete" on 'parent'

Afterwards 'parent' and 'child' are removed from the workspace, 'somefolder' still exists in the filesystem, but 'somefile' is gone.
