How do I break or delete a symbolic link?

I created a link using the following command.

sudo ln -fs /usr/share/icons/Cyclone/cursor.theme etc/alternatives/x-cursor-theme

I now want to delete this link, as it seems to create some problems. Is this done by deleting the cursor.theme file? What are the steps to achieve a complete deletion?
