Answer 1

The issue you had is you changed the variable $request to $req half way through your code:
Change these lines:
$files = public_path().'/company_photos/'.$req->input('company_photo1');
$file = $req->file('company_photo');
to:
$files = public_path().'/company_photos/'.$request->input('company_photo1');
$file = $request->file('company_photo');
Here is the code with a little refactor:
$filename = $request->input('company_photo1');
if ($request->hasFile('company_photo')) {
$files = public_path().'/company_photos/'.$fileName;
File::delete($files);
$file = $request->file('company_photo');
$file->move(public_path().'/company_photos/', $file->getClientOriginalName());
}
