Gettin this error when im trying to download zip file

The file "C:\wamp\www\Petro\public\download/downloads.zip" does not exist

My code

if (\File::exists('download/downloads.zip')) {
     $directory = public_path('download');
     $success   = \File::cleanDirectory($directory);

       foreach($checked as $check){
        $path = File::where('name',$check)->select('real_path')->first();
        $img = \Image::make($path->real_path);
        $img->save(public_path('download'). '/'. $check);
       }

   } else {
       foreach($checked as $check){
        $path = File::where('name',$check)->select('real_path')->first();
        $img = \Image::make($path->real_path);
        $img->save(public_path('download'). '/'. $check);
     }
  }

       $files = \File::files('download');
       \Zipper::make('download/downloads.zip')->add($files);
       $pathtoFile = public_path('download/downloads.zip');
       return response()->download($pathtoFile);

The zip is created but i cant download it, what is wrong with my code?

When i use dd($files) after create the zip :

array:4 [▼
  0 => "download/batman.jpg"
  1 => "download/batmanfamily.jpg"
  2 => "download/batwoman.jpg"
  3 => "download/daredevil.jpg"
]

There is not zip file but if i check in my local directory the zip is created. Can you guys give me a hand with this and sorry for the bad english.

As you can see in your error you have / instead of \ this.

The file "C:\wamp\www\Petro\public\download/downloads.zip" does not exist
                                           ^
                                          Here

change / in following line to \:

 $pathtoFile = public_path('download/downloads.zip');

To

 $pathtoFile = public_path('download\downloads.zip');
