remove() capability in fstream class/templates?

Hello,

I would like to be able to delete (as in stdio.h remove()) fstream
objects. Is there a means for me to do this in C++? I see no such
capability in my references.

remove() is not so bad, except for the fact that I need to keep track
of a file's associated name in addition to it's fstream reference (I'm
presuming that fstream can not give me the filename, don't see a
reference to this either, please correct me if necessary) in order to
remove()/delete the file.

There is no such functionality (neither in C nor in C++). If you need
to delete (remove) a file from your file system, you have to know what
name it has and then use 'remove' or whatever other means your platform
provides.
