In simple terms
Your app is asking for an image file, but that file is missing, deleted, or the path is wrong.
Common causes
the image was removed from storage
the stored file path in the database is outdated
the upload failed earlier, so the file never existed
the API is pointing to the wrong storage location
What to check
verify that the file actually exists in your storage
check where /api/images gets its file path from
confirm the image record in your database matches the real file path
If you want, I can help you trace where /api/images gets that files/... path in your project.
