Topic: failed to create symbolic link '..../certs/iRedMail.crt': File exists

==== REQUIRED BASIC INFO OF YOUR IREDMAIL SERVER ====

I am installing ssl certs for iRedMail server according documentation and as I try to make symbolic links I am getting an error: 

ln -s /etc/letsencrypt/live/myserver.net/fullchain.pem /etc/ssl/certs/iRedMail.crt
ln: failed to create symbolic link '/etc/ssl/certs/iRedMail.crt': File exists

It is obvious that file really exists but I dont know if I should remove it or what to do with it.
Can somebody tell me please how to fix it? Thanks a lot.

Please rename old "iRedMail.crt" file first.
The document mentions backup old cert/key files, seems you missed them.
