Mike Iglesias gave me the tip within a couple of mins. Thanks. He said

"Why don't you just "mv comp comp.old" and put in the symbolic link? Then
you can "rm -r comp.old" at your leisure (assuming you have the disk
space!)."

Which is what I have done. I thought you couldnt mv an entire tree with
one command.
