Laravel doesn't delete directory

Question

I have a problem deleting a directory.

I'm creating a temporary directory where I unzip a file and I want to delete it when I'm done with it.

My code looks pretty much like this:

$tempPath = storage_path('temp/'.$filemd5.'/');
Storage::makeDirectory($tempPath);
$success = Storage::deleteDirectory($tempPath);
return $success;

It doesn't return anything and the directory doesn't get deleted.

Answer 1

I think if you remove the trailing backslash from $tempPath, it might work.

$tempPath = storage_path('temp/'.$filemd5);

EDIT:

Okay, I tried different methods and looks like the class File is the most simple one.

File::makeDirectory($path)

and

File::deleteDirectory($path)
