Laravel File::delete not working - php

Question

So I have a hidden input in my form where I set the name of old file
<input type="hidden" name="old_logo" value="{{ $company->logo }}">
And it is being set successfully:
<input type="hidden" name="old_logo" value="GsdRHGtbm950k6tegfuyjjDlnC3ABg4uQKB2mHrE.jpeg">
Then it goes to my controller:
public function update(Request $request, $id)
{
$company = Company::find($id);
$company->name = $request->input('name');
$company->address = $request->input('address');
// $company->logo = $request->input('logo');
if(null !== (($request->file('logo')))) {
File::delete('logo/' . $request->input('old_logo'));
$request->file('logo')->store('logo');
$company->logo = $request->file('logo')->hashName();
}
$company->save();
return redirect('admin/companies');
}
My file that I want to delete is stored in storage/app/public/logo/
Filesystems.php
'disks' => [
'local' => [
'driver' => 'local',
'root' => storage_path('app/public'),
],
'public' => [
'driver' => 'local',
'root' => storage_path('app/public'),
'url' => env('APP_URL').'/storage',
'visibility' => 'public',
],
's3' => [
'driver' => 's3',
'key' => env('AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID'),
'secret' => env('AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY'),
'region' => env('AWS_DEFAULT_REGION'),
'bucket' => env('AWS_BUCKET'),
],
],
];
It should be trying to delete from storage/app/public/logo/ ? As I tested $request->input('old_logo') is passed successfully as well. What I'm doing wrong? Can it be rights problem?
Ofcourse I wrote this: use File;

You need to pass the full path to the file. So, if the file is in public/logo directory, do this:
File::delete(public_path('logo/' . $request->old_logo));
