Image Delete On Update

I tried that and it still won't delete the old Image.

@artisticre Could be because you are using the public path, and storage may use the public path by default from storage/app/public as a disk. Maybe try

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\File;

if($request->hasFile('image')) {
   $image = $request->file('image');
   $filename = time() .'.'. $image->getClientOriginalExtension();
   $location = public_path('images/profile/'. $filename);
   Image::make($image)->save($location);
   File::delete(public_path('images/profile/'.$profile->image));
   $profile->image = $filename;
}
$profile->save();

Perfect. This works. Only one question. I have part of my migration it adds a default avatar image when a user registers.

            $table->string('image')->nullable()->default('avatar.jpg')->after('mobile');

so on my profile page I have

                    <img src="{{ asset('images/profile/'.$profile->image) }}" alt="{{$profile->name}}" class="rounded-circle" width="150">

But when I update the image, it deletes the avatar image so when a new user registers it is missing. Where would I put the avatar image so it doesn't get deleted?

@artisticre Easiest option off the top of my head...just do a simple exact string match if the filename is avatar.jpg

public function updateProfile(Request $request, $id)
{
    $profile = User::find($id);

    $this->validate($request, array(
        'name' => 'min:3|max:255',
        'adddress' => 'min:3|max:255',
        'city' => 'min:3|max:255',
        'state' => 'min:3|max:255',
        'zipcode' => 'min:3|max:255',
        'mobile'=> 'max:25',
        'image' => 'mimes:jpg,jpeg,png,gif|max:4096',
        'email' => 'email'

    ));

    $profile->name = $request->input('name');
    $profile->address = $request->input('address');
    $profile->city = $request->input('city');
    $profile->state = $request->input('state');
    $profile->zipcode = $request->input('zipcode');
    $profile->mobile = $request->input('mobile');
    $profile->email = $request->input('email');

    if ($request->hasFile('image')) {
        $image = $request->file('image');
        $filename = time() .'.'. $image->getClientOriginalExtension();
        $path = public_path('images/profile/');
        Image::make($image)->save($path.$filename);
        if ($profile->image !== 'avatar.jpg') {
            File::delete($path.$profile->image));
        }
        $profile->image = $filename;
    }
    $profile->save();
    Session::flash('success','Profile Details Updated Successfully');
    return view('employee.profile',compact('profile'));
}
