Trying to Delete Local File with Storage Facade

All,

So, I am working on a little project that involves some image manipulation / upload to S3 / Deletion of Local Copy, etc

Here is where I am: I can submit the file dropzone, manipulate it with intervention image, save a local copy, upload that file, persist the record. The problem comes when I try to delete the local copy. I know this code is a little sloppy for now, I am just trying to get it to work how I want before refactoring. I just have a fileupload method on my controller as shown below:

public function addPhoto($id, ImageUploadRequest $request, Factory $filesystem){
        $file = $request->file('image');
        $fileName = time() . $file->getClientOriginalName();
        $tempFilePath = public_path('images/temp/') . $fileName;
        $image = Image::make($file->getRealPath())->resize(300, null, function ($constraint) {
            $constraint->aspectRatio();
        })->orientate()->save($tempFilePath);

        $uploadSuccess = $filesystem->put('spots-images/' . $fileName, $image->__toString(), 'public');
        if($uploadSuccess):
            $photo = SpotImage::create(['spot_id' => $id, 'image' => $fileName, 'image_thumbnail' => 'tn-' . $fileName]);
            Storage::delete($tempFilePath); //FAILING HERE!  Remove this line and everything works perfectly
            return Response::json(['filename' => $fileName], 200);
        endif;
    }

I am getting a League\Flysystem\FileNotFoundException

It is looking for the file at the

$tempFilePath = public_path('images/temp/') . $fileName;

That is definitely where the file is located because that is where I save it to. The reason I have to save the file is because I cannot use the $filesystem->put method without saving the file (Maybe this is the real problem and I need to re-think how I am preparing the file before upload)

Anyway, any help would be greatly apprecaited.
