very simple try this

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Storage;

public function deletePublication($publication_id=null)
 {
   if(!empty ($publication_id))
    {

     $publication_path = Db::table('publications')
     ->where('publication_id','=',$publication_id)
     ->value('publication_file');

     Storage::delete($publication_path);

    DB::table('publications')->where('publication_id', '=', $publication_id)- >delete();


        return redirect()
            ->back()
            ->with('flash_message_success','Publication Deleted');
    }
}

path it must be different in your table. To know more about visit File system Laravel

You just added the code to remove a file from Database. Need to remove the file from a folder, try below code 

$filePath = 'public/files';
unlink($filePath);

Please read details of unlink() function

http://php.net/manual/en/function.unlink.php

You can also try from laravel to remove the file, please review the link from laravel documentation

https://laravel.com/docs/5.6/filesystem#deleting-files

What is your code to create a publication? What you did to create a publication (including the uploading of file), you also have to do the reverse (which is delete the file).

Laravel has a good documentation, you can refer to this link on how to delete files/directory: https://laravel.com/docs/5.6/filesystem.
