I got it!
unlink(’./public/videos/’.$old_video_path); works fine.
i have used that code instead of using delete_files
thnx.

Demanding people to help you isn't very polite and will only turn people away from helping you.
Also I suggest the next time you need help you use subject that describes your problem

Agreed with Flojon. And also don't worry, we see your posts and don't need to give them an "urgence", CI community is very helpful and will help you really quickly without you have to ask in an emergency.
Also please as already suggested yesterday to you, when you post code, use the Code tags to wrap your code in, it's unreadable otherwise !

For extra safety (and to avoid errors) you might want to take a look at "is_file()" native PHP function.

Also please use code tags when submitting code, it's easier to read.

wow...
spent the last hour trying to figure out if i did something wrong when using delete_files();
when "unlink" function was there all along
anyone knows what the reason might be for
Code:
delete_files('./public/videos/'.$old_video_path);i even try loading helper file directly in my function.
