Symbolic link dedup simply deletes the duplicates in windows #1188

Bug Description I think this may be related to #1187, as both happened in the same run. I downloaded the program and ran it for the first time on a 2.5TiB partition where I know there's lots of duplicates.

The bug at hand is that when I select a duplicate in czkawka and click the "symbolic link" button, instead of creating a symbolic link it just deletes the duplicates, just like when I click the delete option

Steps to reproduce: No idea. This is the first time I run this program and I just confirmed that by selecting an entry where a file was in 3 different locations. I opened each of these locations then went to czkawka and used the symbolic link option, then I went back to those folders and there was no symbolic link, it just deleted the files from 2 locations, the other one was preserved.
