View Root from file manager
 
Surfing around i found a blog describing how to make root viewable in the file manager by creating a simlink. Done from xtrem.

Command to change to your documents directory where file manager will be able to see the simlink for Root.
cd /home/user/MyDocs

Command to create the simlink in MyDocs that you just switched to that directory.
ln -s / Root

My question now is can i cd to /home/user/MyDocs and rm -rf Root safely if i want to delete the simlink? Also is there any way to make file manager think your root user?

No need to do an rm -rf (dangerous command anyway, to be used very sparingly) - a simple rm will do. If it is a symlink, it will delete the link, not the files it links to.
