Hi guys, I have a problem with V6 uploaders, can you guys help me out?

What do I want?

When I delete the model/entry it will also delete the picture file

What did I do?

reading the documentation and trying it, also I already solved it but with v5 ways

What is actually happening?

It did not delete the picture file when I delete the model/entry

Here's my backpack version

### PHP VERSION:
PHP 8.1.10 (cli) (built: Aug 30 2022 18:05:49) (ZTS Visual C++ 2019 x64)
Copyright (c) The PHP Group
Zend Engine v4.1.10, Copyright (c) Zend Technologies

### LARAVEL VERSION:
10.16.1.0

### BACKPACK PACKAGE VERSIONS:
backpack/basset: 1.0.2
backpack/crud: 6.0.6
backpack/generators: v4.0.2
backpack/theme-tabler: 1.0.6

Here's my controller

        CRUD::field('member_profile_picture')
            ->type('upload')
            ->withFiles([
                'disk' => 'public', // the disk where file will be stored
                'path' => '/uploads/member/', // the path inside the disk where file will be stored
        ]);

I already solve it with backpack v5 ways, something like

//inside my related model
public static function boot()
    {
        parent::boot();
        static::deleting(function($obj) {
            if($obj->member_profile_picture){
                \Storage::disk('public')->delete($obj->member_profile_picture);
            }
        });
    }

Did I miss something? let me know, thank you 🙏.

This is missing documentation.

To properly have the deleting feature working, the developer should setup the fields (where the uploaders are registered), in their DeleteOperation.

public function setupDeleteOperation()
{
    CRUD::field('photo')->type('upload')->withFiles();
    // OR $this->setupCreateOperation();
}

Usually you can store the fields in a getter function or a property in the controller and reuse it:

private function setupFields() 
{
CRUD::field('photo')->type('upload')->withFiles();
}

public function setupDeleteOperation()
{
   $this->setupFields();
}

public function setupCreateOperation()
{
   $this->setupFields();
}

Will add proper docs for it.
