your php instance has not the needed rights to delete the files, if you using linux based system, check the rights for the file and who is the owner and und what user the php instance runs — fehrlich, Jul 13 '16 at 11:38

problem fixed :

$Pscan = scandir("img/movieData/$m_folder/poster/");
         foreach($Pscan as $Pscan_name){
             // fixed
             if($Pscan_name == '.' || $Pscan_name == '..'){
                   continue;
             }else{
