Deleting a folder with files in Laravel

What is the proper syntax when deleting a folder with files in laravel 5.2?

Here is my syntax when deleting the folder from the DB and DIR

$folder = Folder::find($id);
$folder_path = storage_path('locker').'/'. $folder->folder_title;
$folder->delete();
 `rmdir($folder_path);`
\Session::flash('success', 'Folder Deleted!');
return back();

After much frustration I got the solution.

Use 'File' instead of 'Storage'

File::deleteDirectory($path);

The deleteDirectory may be used to remove a directory and all of its files

Storage::deleteDirectory($directory);
