Laravel – how to fix model boot method not working properly?

protected static function boot()
    {
        parent::boot();
        self::creating(function ($model) {
            $model->unique_id = self::generateUniqueId();
        });

        self::deleting(function (Submission $submission) {
            Log::info('Deleting model:', ['model' => $submission]);
            dd($submission);
            // Delete all associated media
            $submission->clearMediaCollection('files');
            $submission->clearMediaCollection('images');
        });
    }

namespace AppModels;

use IlluminateDatabaseEloquentFactoriesHasFactory;
use IlluminateDatabaseEloquentModel;
use IlluminateSupportFacadesLog;
use SpatieMediaLibraryHasMedia;
use SpatieMediaLibraryInteractsWithMedia;
use SpatieMediaLibraryMediaCollectionsFile;

class Submission extends Model implements HasMedia
{
    use InteractsWithMedia, HasFactory;
    protected $fillable = [
        'unique_id',
        'user_id',
        'title',
        'description',
        'status',
    ];

    protected static function boot()
    {
        parent::boot();
        self::creating(function ($model) {
            $model->unique_id = self::generateUniqueId();
        });

        self::deleting(function (Submission $submission) {
            Log::info('Deleting model:', ['model' => $submission]);
            dd($submission);
            // Delete all associated media
            $submission->clearMediaCollection('files');
            $submission->clearMediaCollection('images');
        });
    }

    public static function generateUniqueId()
    {
        do {
            $uniqueId = str_pad(rand(0, 99999999), 12, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT);
        } while (self::where('unique_id', $uniqueId)->exists());

        return $uniqueId;
    }

    public function user()
    {
        return $this->belongsTo(User::class);
    }

    public function replies()
    {
        return $this->hasMany(SubmissionReply::class);
    }

    public function registerMediaCollections(): void
    {
        $this->addMediaCollection('files')
            ->useDisk('submissions')
            ->acceptsFile(function (File $file) {
                return in_array($file->mimeType, [
                    'image/jpeg',
                    'image/png',
                    'application/pdf',
                    'application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet',
                    'application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document',
                    'text/plain'
                ]);
            });

        $this->addMediaCollection('images')
            ->useDisk('submissions')
            ->singleFile()
            ->acceptsMimeTypes([
                'image/jpeg',
                'image/png',
                'image/jpg',
            ]);
    }
}

    The issue is likely due to the use of dd($submission), which halts execution and prevents the media from being deleted. To fix this, remove dd() and add proper logging to ensure the deleting event is triggered and the media is cleared.

    if you’re using forceDelete(), the deleting event won’t be triggered. In that case, listen for the forceDeleted event instead

    self::forceDeleted(function (Submission $submission) {
    $submission->clearMediaCollection('files');
    $submission->clearMediaCollection('images');
});

    Please follow and Update in your code with that basic softDelete solution:

    1. Add Soft Deletes Trait (if you use soft deletes):
      use IlluminateDatabaseEloquentSoftDeletes;

      class Submission extends Model implements HasMedia
      {
      use InteractsWithMedia, HasFactory, SoftDeletes;
      }

      Just import rest of code will be same as before.

    2. Use forceDelete() to delete permanently:

      Submission::find($id)->forceDelete();

    3. Clear Cache:

      php artisan cache:clear
      php artisan config:cache
      php artisan route:cache
      php artisan view:clear

    4. Verify the Delete Operation in Code:

      $submission = Submission::find($id);
      $submission->delete();
