Instead of overwriting delete() method, you could use model event as described here: http://laravel.com/docs/4.2/eloquent#model-events

Image::deleted(function ($image)
{
    // delete media
});

Notice I used deleted event and not deleting. I believe it's safer to delete record first and then the media.

Also, I don't think that technically you aren't actually get the file in question, perhaps just the path to it.

You might need to do something like:

File::delete($media);

Although it is a little difficult to say without seeing the rest of your code.

The file deletion part works fine T2, the problem is that the parent object (in this case $board) gets deleted along with the $media object..

Which, I found out.. my ON DELETE was set to CASCADE on the database. I feel stupid ... haha

Anyways.. let it be archived in case someone else faces the same problem.
