$data = FileUpload::FindOrFail($id); $fnm = $data['path'];

    File::delete('upload/'.$fnm);

    $data->delete();

I think the problem is the path you pass in. You should really use one of Laravels generators to get a full path to your folder. Assuming img is a directory in public you can do this:

File::deleteDirectory(public_path('img/Albums/' . $albums->albumname));

Assuming the name of the subdirectory is stored in $albums->albumname
