because you must have set SESSION_DRIVER=file in your .env file . Change it to
SESSION_DRIVER=cookie
and delete the previous session file in the storage.

session management laravel 5
what is the difference between 'driver' => env('SESSION_DRIVER', 'file') and 'driver' => env('SESSION_DRIVER', 'cookie') in laravel 5 .
Because if i change file to cookie in config/session.php i can still see session file in storage/framework/session folder
Level 1
So what you are trying to say is that if i need cookies instead of file i have to make changes in both places: 1 - config/session.php 2 - .env
Level 4
No you just need to change it in .env file .
env('SESSION_DRIVER', 'file')
means that laravel will pick the SESSION_DRIVER if it is present in .env , if it isn't there it will use the default value which is the second parameter .
