Check the unlink docs.

The unlink requires the parameter to be a path to the file on your local filesystem.

From the looks of $frontpage_url you are giving it an url to the image which is not supported by unlink and also makes no sense on why that should work.

Example: 

unlink('/home/path/to/image.jpg');

Try this:

unlink("images/".$_FILES["imagem"]["name"]);

If still not working, append your full path to the "images/" folder. E.g.:

unlink("public/uploads/images/".$_FILES["imagem"]["name"]);
