First of all, install symlinks if it is not installed :

sudo yum install symlinks

and here is the description:

Description : The symlinks utility performs maintenance on symbolic links.

Symlinks checks for symlink problems, including dangling symlinks

which point to nonexistent files.  Symlinks can also automatically

convert absolute symlinks to relative symlinks.

Install the symlinks package if you need a program for maintaining

symlinks on your system.

and the help for the same:

symlinks: scan/change symbolic links – v1.3 – by Mark Lord

Usage:    symlinks [-cdorstv] dirlist

Flags:    -c == change absolute/messy links to relative
-d == delete dangling links
-o == warn about links across file systems
-r == recurse into subdirs
-s == shorten lengthy links (displayed in output only when -c not specified)
-t == show what would be done by -c
-v == verbose (show all symlinks)

So, if you want to delete all the invalid symlinks in the current directory the just execute:

symlinks -d .
symlinks -d -r .
