How to remove the symbolic link Laravel

Learn how to delete a symbolic link in Laravel w/ an example.

Removing a symbolic link in Laravel is easy. First, open the command line and navigate to the root directory of your project. Then, use the unlink command to remove the symbolic link:

unlink path/to/symlink

This command will delete the symlink, but the actual file or directory it points to will not be affected. Note that you need to use the exact path of the symlink, relative to the current directory, for the command to work.

Using the Artisan Command Line Interface

If you want to remove a symbolic link from within your Laravel application, you can also use the Artisan command line interface. In the root directory of your project, run the following command:

php artisan storage:link

This will remove the symbolic link, but it will also delete the actual file or directory it points to. This can be useful if you want to completely remove a file or directory from your project.

Removing a symbolic link in Laravel is easy and can be done with the unlink command or the Artisan command line interface. Either way, make sure you use the exact path of the symlink, relative to the current directory, for the command to work correctly.
