Problem
You want to delete a file on the filesystem.
You know you could use PHP's unlink() method, but want to do it the Laravel way.
Solution
Use the File::delete() method.
// Delete a single file File::delete($filename); // Delete multiple files File::delete($file1, $file2, $file3); // Delete an array of files $files = array($file1, $file2); File::delete($files);
Discussion
Errors are quietly ignored.
If there's a problem deleting the file, any error is silently ignored. If it's important that a file was deleted, check it's existence after deleting it with File::exists().
