I wondered if there was a one liner to do that.

readlink is your friend:
$ ln -s ../other-dir link-to-other-dir
$ ls -l
   total 0
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 berny users 12 Jul  5 13:24 link-to-other-dir -> ../other-dir
$ readlink link-to-other-dir
   ../other-dir
$ rm -rv link-to-other-dir $(readlink link-to-other-dir)
   removed `link-to-other-dir'
   removed directory: `../other-dir'
Thanks Berny
Exactly what I wanted.
