The `-r` should have been omitted of course.

BSD-like Mac OS X, sorry, hadn't thought of that. Conversely it
doesn't come with md5sum.

That would not work here because readlink doesn't have an -f

probably do something like to handle a relative path:

$ printf '%s/%s' "$PWD" "$folder" | md5 | xargs rm
