Laravel can't upload file in storage folder - php

Question

I used to store my upload files (images) in my public folder but this time I want to store them in my storage folder and I get this error
Can't write image data to path (C:\laragon\www\mynewsite\storage\images/aboutimage-1522481830.png)
Error comes from this line (where I use intervention/image package)
Image::make($image)->resize(1200, 600)->save($location);
My function:
if ($request->hasFile('image')) {
$image = $request->file('image');
$filename = 'aboutimage' . '-' . time() . '.' . $image->getClientOriginalExtension();
$location = storage_path('images/' . $filename);
Image::make($image)->resize(1200, 600)->save($location);
$oldFilename = $indexabout->image;
$indexabout->image = $filename;
Storage::delete($oldFilename);
}
any idea?
UPDATE
My files will upload in root/storage folder instead of root/storage/app/public/images
why is that?
Update 2
I changed my function to code below and it's uploading where it suppose to upload but it does not delete the old image
if ($request->hasFile('image')) {
$image = $request->file('image');
$filename = '/aboutimage' . '-' . time() . '.' . $image->getClientOriginalExtension();
$location = storage_path('app/public/images' . $filename);
Image::make($image)->resize(1200, 600)->save($location);
$oldFilename = $indexabout->image;
$indexabout->image = $filename;
Storage::delete($oldFilename);
}

SOLVED
here is final code:
if ($request->hasFile('image')) {
$image = $request->file('image');
$filename = 'aboutimage' . '-' . time() . '.' . $image->getClientOriginalExtension();
$location = storage_path('app/public/images/' . $filename); // root storage path
Image::make($image)->resize(1200, 600)->save($location);
Storage::delete('images/' . $indexabout->image); //public storage path
$indexabout->image = $filename;
}
Basically I gave Root/Storage path to store data and Public/Storage path for deleting them in update method.
