Removal of a Link Operation
Link removal is an operation where the target system deletes one or more links while overwriting an object during shift-backward or object removal operations.
Example
Consider a scenario where, prior to replication, the source system has a document with iteration Document A.1 linked to Part A.2 via Part Describe Link - L1.
The target system has the same document object locally, marked as Locked for Replication, with the same iteration Document A.1 linked to Part A.2 (local) but with a new relationship Part Describe Link - L2.
Additionally, the target system has an extra iteration Document A.2 linked to Part A.2 (local) via Part Describe Link - L3.
Only the weak side objects are exported.

While replication with the overwrite option, the link Part Describe Link - L3 and iteration Document A.2 are removed, while iteration Document A.1 is replicated from the source system to the target system.
