What have you tried yet? Native php unlink(), CI file helper delete_files('path')?

Things to keep in mind:
- I'd put it in my model, and call it before you delete it from the database. ONLY delete the image from the DB if your file delete is successful.
- If you are using php unlink(), the path should be relative to the script that is calling it. So you'll have to navigate down a couple of tree levels, then back up the tree to the folder containing the image. So I'd expect it to look something like this:

Code:

$delete = unlink("../../images/uploads/thisismyfile.gif");
if($delete){
   //success, remove from DB now
}else{
   // some kind of error handling, perhaps a flashdata message for the user, logging something
   // whatever tickles your fancy.
}

- I've never personally used the CI File helper, but if you are don't forget to load it first!!! Then I presume it's pretty much the same as unlink, except as per the docs the path is relative from your root/base index.php file, so you'll just have to navigate up your tree from your root folder. Something like this:

Code:

$delete = delete_files('./path/to/directory/myfile.gif');
if($delete){
   // blah blah, same as above.
}
