Correct image path to delete from storage laravel 8 - file-upload

Question

I try to delete the old profilepicture in storage file but it is not working.
below is my screenshot of my files
and this is my code in update profile controller.
public function updateProfile(Request $request, User $user)
{
if ($request->hasFile('profilepicture')) {
Storage::delete('/storage/profilepicture' . $user->profilepicture);
$filenameWithExt = $request->file('profilepicture')->getClientOriginalName();
$filename = pathinfo($filenameWithExt, PATHINFO_FILENAME);
$extension = $request->file('profilepicture')->getClientOriginalExtension();
$fileNameToStore = time() . '.' . $extension;
$path = $request->file('profilepicture')->storeAs('public/profilepicture', $fileNameToStore);
$user->update([
'profilepicture' => $fileNameToStore
]);
}
$user->update([
'name' => $request->name,
'email' => $request->email,
'birth_date' => $request->birth_date,
'section' => $request->section,
'unit' => $request->unit,
'phone' => $request->phone,
]);
return back()->withSuccess('You have successfully update User.');
}
i already tried
Storage::delete('/public/storage/profilepicture/' . $user->profilepicture);
Storage::delete('/storage/profilepicture/' . $user->profilepicture);
Storage::delete('profilepicture/' . $user->profilepicture);
but none of them is working. Or there is any other correct way to do this?

Answer 1

Use class Filesystem instead of Storage, and give it an absolute path like this:
// Declare
use Illuminate\Filesystem\Filesystem;
// Using
$file = 'icon-256x256.png';
$path = public_path('profilepicture/' . $file);
Filesystem::delete($path);
You will delete the file successful!
