Laravel 5.4: how to delete a file stored in storage/app

Question

I want to delete a file that is stored in storage/app/myfolder/file.jpg. I have tried the following codes but none of this works:

use File    
$file_path = u         


        

Answer 1

Try:

unlink(public_path('uploads\users'). DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR .$user->image);

This worked for me..

Answer 2

Use storage

//demo 
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Storage;

Storage::delete($filename);

Another way,

unlink(storage_path('app/folder/'.$filename));
