How can incorrect file paths affect the ability to delete files using PHP?

Incorrect file paths can prevent PHP from locating the file that needs to be deleted, resulting in an error. To ensure that files can be deleted successfully, always double-check the file path to ensure it is accurate and points to the correct file location. 

$file_path = '/path/to/file.txt';

if (file_exists($file_path)) {
    unlink($file_path);
    echo "File deleted successfully.";
} else {
    echo "File not found.";
}
