How to delete image from storage in restfull api

  $employee = Employee::find($id);
        Storage::delete($employee->photo_file_path . $employee->photo_file_type);
        $file = $request->image;
        $path = $file->storeAs('public/images', $id . '.' . $file->getClientOriginalExtension());
        $employee->photo_file_name = $id;
        $employee->photo_file_type = $file->getClientOriginalExtension();
        $employee->photo_file_path = $path;

when uploading photos, I want the previous photo to be deleted first and then insert a new photo again, I use Storage::delete. I have checked the public folder but the previous photo was not deleted, instead the photo was added

If you are uploading images in public folder then you need to add public before your path

Storage::delete('public/'.$employee->photo_file_path . $employee->photo_file_type);
