Old File from storage is not being deleted on update Laravel - laravel

Question

I am trying to delete the existing image from the storage while the new image is being updated.
But everytime the new image is inserted retaining the previous ones.
When I dd the image from database to unlink, I get full url
i.e.
http://127.0.0.1:8000/teacger-image/1598097262-85508.jpg
While only teacher-image/1598097262-85508.jpg
has been stored in the database.
Function to delete the image
public function deleteImageFromStorage($value)
{
if (!empty($value)) {
File::delete('public/' . $value);
}
}
I have called the method in the controller when there is image posted during update.
update method includes
if ($request->hasFile('image')) {
$teacher->deleteImageFromStorage($teacher->image);
$file = $request->file('image');
$filename = time() . '-' . mt_rand(0, 100000) . '.' . $file->getClientOriginalExtension();
$path = $file->storeAs('teacher-image', $filename);
$teacher->image = $path;
}
Also I have used Storage::delete() and unlink as well but none of them seem to work.

Answer 1

This is how I've been deleting files in Laravel.
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Storage;
class ImagesController extends Controller
{
public function deleteImageFromStorage($value)
{
if ( file_exists( storage_path($value) ) ) {
Storage::delete($value);
}
}
}
Make sure to use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Storage.

Try change your deleteImageFromStorage method to this:
public function deleteImageFromStorage($value)
{
if (!empty($value)) {
File::delete(public_path($value));
}
}

I had to do this to solve my problem.
The url was being taken by the configuration set on filesystems.php under config file.
public function deleteImageFromStorage($value)
{
$path_explode = explode('/', (parse_url($value))['path']); //breaking the full url
$path_array = [];
array_push($path_array, $path_explode[2], $path_explode[3]); // storing the value of path_explode 2 and 3 in path_array array
$old_image = implode('/', $path_array);
if ($old_image) {
Storage::delete($old_image);
}
}
