$idname = User::where('user_id', $request->userid)->update([
    'users_profile_name' => $usersName
]);
File::delete('/public/uploads/users/".$request->userid."');

$file=$request->file('users_profile_name');
$file->move(base_path('/public/uploads/users'),$usersName);

Use the unlink function of php,

unlink($file_path);

To create Path :

$file_path = base_path().'/images/post/'.$post->photo;

You can do it by using unlink() function. Here's the code from my project that deletes the previous picture if the user wants to add another:

$usersImage = public_path("/images/{$user->photo->path}"); //Finding users previous picture
        if(file_exists($usersImage)){ //If it exits, delete it from folder
            unlink($usersImage);
        }

After that you just add your logic for adding another picture
