Can't delete image / file from public folder

I think you're after the public_path() instead.

// Note removal of app_path()

$image_path = public_path().'/images/news/'.$news->photo;

Thanks for the reply @JoeDawson, but the image is still there.

Yes, I solved by changing like so:

public function destroy($id)
{
    $news = News::findOrFail($id);
    $image_path = public_path().'/'.$news->photo;
    unlink($image_path);
    $news->delete();
    return redirect('admin/dashboard')->with('message','خبر موفقانه حذف شد');
}

Thanks all for taking your time to reply.

Glad you got it working :)

At some instance, the file you wish to delete might not exist in that folder. It is good to check first like this. Otherwise it will throw an error.

public function destroy($id)
{
        $news = News::findOrFail($id);
        $image_path = public_path().'/'.$news->photo;
        if(file_exists($image_path)) // check if the image indeed exists
        unlink($image_path);
    $news->delete();
        return redirect('admin/dashboard')->with('message','خبر موفقانه حذف شد');
}

public function destroy(Request $request , $id) { $passport=Passport::find($id); $image_path = app_path().'/images/'.$passport->filename; if(file_exists($image_path)) unlink($image_path); $passport->delete(); return back()->with('success','Information has been deleted'); }

this my code for delete the user id but user id deleted iamge is not dleted in publick folder

Post may be old but has saved me 3 hours of frustration. Thank YOU!
