So I have a form where you can add and edit pictures. I am trying to make it so that the user can click a button and the image will be deleted. To do this, I am trying to make it so that when they click the button, the value on the DB will become null. However for some reason this is not working. This is how I am doing it: $plant->plantimage = null; $plant->save();

plantimage is where the file goes. Any ideas?

Do you use the FormController behavior? Show some code so we can help.

If this is an attachOne relation in your model, try:

$plant->plantImage()->remove()
