This was in the case where you wanted to shift all the targets of shortcuts to somewhere else so you could delete the files in their original locations.
I understand the possibility to delete shortcuts in the original folder, but for me is not interesting this thing.
This was so you could use it like a simple backup/organisation kind of thing. eg. You could collect shortcuts to various files/folders on your drives into one folder, (without having to physically move them), then later, (say once a week/month), just run the program to copy them all to one place without doing it one at a time. The shortcuts are deleted ready for the next time you want to do it for a different set of files/folders.
I had to add the shortcut deletion anyway for the rewriting section so I made it a separate option.
One thing I forgot to do was check to see if there's enough drive space on the destination, so I think currently if you run out it'll just show up as failed copies in the log. Calculating total copy size is something I can add but it would probably slow down the operation if there's folders with lots of files. Something I'll look into.
