    I think I've heard others mention this as being sort of a bug in nautilus. Their solution was to delete the link using the console/terminal.

    It looks like it's trying to follow the link, and failing. If you open a console and type
    Code: 
    unlink ~/Link\ to*
    and press enter, it should delete those two links. If they turn out to not be symlinks then you just replace "unlink" in the code above with "rm"

    You have to navigate to the folder they are in first.

    Doh, my bad. Those are on your desktop ;)
    Code: 
    unlink ~/Desktop/Link\ to*
    That should work for you.
