How to delete a file stored in Storage folder in Laravel
In Laravel, you can delete a file stored in storage using the Storage facade.
Follow below steps to delete a file in Laravel:
Step 1 - Import the Storage facade at the top of your file:
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Storage;
Step 2 - Call the delete method on the Storage facade, provide (passing) the path to the file you want to delete:
Storage::delete('path/to/file');
Use the actual path to the file you wish to delete in place of "path/to/file". If file stored in a subdirectory then you need to include the subdirectory (proper path) in the path.
For example, if the file is stored in storage/app/public/images/image.jpg, then the path would be 'public/images/image.jpg'.
Step 3 - You can check if the file was deleted by calling the exists method on the Storage facade (optional):
if (Storage::exists('path/to/file')) {
// file still exists
} else {
// file was deleted
}
If the file is still present, this will return true; if it was removed, it will return false.
Note: Laravel's Storage facade provides a unified way to interact with various storage systems such as local disk, S3, FTP, and more. Depending on the storage system you're using, different file deletion techniques may be available.
