Laravel Delete File

I have a test.txt file in my Laravel public folder which I simply want to delete from my controller by using

unlink('public/test.txt');

Whenever I try to run, I keep getting a 'file not found' error

ErrorException in WidgetController.php line 32: unlink('public/test.txt'): No such file or directory

What seems to be the problem here?

Use app_path to delete the file. More about the paths here\n\n$file_path = app_path(\"test.txt\"); // app_path(\"public/test.txt\");\nif(File::exists($file_path)) File::delete($file_path);\n",
