How to unlink multiple files in Laravel

I want to unlink all file with name from the database: file name in database. I try to use code like this but it doesn't work:

public function destroy($id)
{
     $infokeg = Infokeg::where('id', $id)->first();
     $image[] = $infokeg->foto_kegiatan
     unlink(public_path("data_file/".json_decode($image)));
     $infokeg->delete();
     return redirect('infokeg')->with('msg', 'Data Telah Terhapus');
}

File::delete() will handle the array of files to be deleted for you,

At first, add it use Illuminate\Support\Facades\File;

public function destroy($id)
{
 $infokeg = Infokeg::where('id', $id)->first();
 $image[] = $infokeg->foto_kegiatan  
 // pass the array of files to deleted to it. 
 // if $image array is like this $image = ['file1.jpg', 'file2.png'];
 File::delete($image);
 
 return redirect('infokeg')->with('msg', 'Data Telah Terhapus');
}

Method 2

At first add use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Storage;

public function destroy($id)
{
 $infokeg = Infokeg::where('id', $id)->first();
 $image[] = $infokeg->foto_kegiatan  
 // pass the array of files to deleted to it. 
 // if $image array is like this $image = ['file.jpg', 'file2.jpg'];
 Storage::delete($image);
 
 return redirect('infokeg')->with('msg', 'Data Telah Terhapus');
}

For method 2 refer from docs

EDIT:

append public path to all,

foreach ($image as &$value) {
   $value = public_path("data_file/".$value);
}

It will append the public path to all the values in the array, then use it in the delete() method as its argument.
