direct delete from your directory please try this will use in your controller 

use File;

that also use in your controllers function 

   $update = tablename::where('id',$request->input('uid'))->where('status',1)->first();
    if ($request->hasFile('cover'))
    {
         File::delete(public_path().$update->pu_cover_photo);
    }

there are two solutions for this, first you can import the class by add this code in controller file

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\File;

or alternatively you can use the full path class in your code, so your code should be like this,

$post = Post::find($id);
$file= $post->image;
$destinationPath = public_path('/images');
$filename = $destinationPath.'/'.$file;

//fullpath class
\Illuminate\Support\Facades\File::delete($filename);

Try importing the class at the top of your controller file:

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\File;
