Delete file from a specific directory in Laravel local storage - php

Question

I am storing files at local storage. So, in /storage/app/public directory.
I am storing my files in /storage/app/public/userId/images ;
I used php artisan storage:link , so I can access that files in view, having a shortcut to this folder in /public/storage/userId/images
Inside that path I have 2 images - test.jpg and test2.jpg
I can't find a response at Laravel documentation, how to delete file test.jpg from /public/storage/userId/images
I tried in this way :
$path = 'public/' . $id . '/diploma';
$files = Storage::files($path);
return $files;
It returns me :
[
"public/303030/images/test.jpg"
"public/303030/images/test2.jpg"
]
Now, how can I call Storage::delete('test.jpg') on that array?

Answer 1

There is multiple ways to delete image
//In laravel
File::delete($image);
//for specific directory
File::delete('images/' . 'image1.jpg');
and other way (Simple PHP)
//Simple PHP
unlink(public_path('storage/image/delete'));
and if you want to delete more than 1 images than
Storage::delete(['file1.jpg', 'file2.jpg']);
//or
File::delete($image1, $image2, $image3);

Answer 2

Use Storage::delete(). The delete method accepts a single filename or an array of files to remove from the disk.
Storage::delete($file_to_delete);
May be you want to do something like-
$files = Storage::files($path);
Storage::delete($files);

use File;
public function destroy($id,$src)
{
File::delete('file/' . $src);
fileModel::find($id)->delete();
return back()->withErrors("");
}
if you store your image public/file folder you can delete like this . it will work . in the $src just pass the file name .
Example: $src = example.png;
