Use unlink and rmdir. Calling unlink($file) will delete the file whose filename is $file, however this is non recursive (it only deletes one file at a time, and won't delete a directory if it is not empty).

There are tons and tons of examples that will recursively delete a directory here : https://www.php.net/unlink
