Sometimes you might want to delete/update a whole lot of items that are related to a model when a record under that model is deleted from the database. This could be useful for various scenarios when there is a lot of processing that needs to be done upon model deletion. Laravel provides model events that you can use in that case.

This is a simple trick that laravel run on IIS Server, this configuration will delete the public folder from the URL, but does not delete the public folder in the application.
