Modx api how to delete a file from a directory?

Question

MODX

Hello.

The modx api has the ability to delete a resource, an object. I'm making a "change profile pictures" page. I'm trying to do the following - when the user has uploaded new photos and clicked the save button, then it would be necessary to delete the old photos from the folder in the root public_html/user_upload . I get links to old photos. What command can be used to delete files?

I tried it like this, but it didn't work.

$modx->remove($photo1);

Or modx api can't do it?

MODX API does not know how, you need to use the standard PHP methods.
