Now you can delete the image with download URL easily

String imageUrl = 'here goes image url';
StorageReference ref = await FirebaseStorage().getReferenceFromUrl(imageUrl);
ref.delete();

Update

FirebaseStorage.instance.refFromURL(imageUrl).delete();

Feb 2021:

 Future<void> removeImageFromUrl(String url) async {
        try {
          Reference ref = await FirebaseStorage.instance.refFromURL(url);
          await ref.delete();
        } catch (e) {
          print('Failed with error code: ${e.code}');
          print(e.message);
        }
    }

The url in the above method is the one that is fetched after storing the image to the bucket.

eg:
 https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/xxxx.appspot.com/o/bucket%2xxxx?alt=media&token=xxxx

You can't put the gs:// url inside the child method as a parameter. However, you can feed this to the storageBucket property of the FirebaseStorage class.

final FirebaseStorage storage = FirebaseStorage(storageBucket: 'gs://flutter-firebase-636d0.appspot.com/');

Then you can delete your image like this:

onPressed: () async{
        await storage.ref().child("e-commerce/header_image/img1.jpg").delete();
      }

You need to pass the path to the file as the argument of the child like this:

await _storage.child('sample/path/to/the/image.jpg').delete();
