"Unlink" means "Remove all links".  
There is no point removing all links when there are none 
but there is no harm either.
Me thinks "Unlink" should be enabled in this case.

Which of the following use cases do you consider more common?

Case 1: remove all links (if there are any)
Case 2: 
remove all links, handle an exception if there are none?

Methinks, case 1 wins
