how can I delete a file in c++

Hi,

I read this article to talk about all file operation in C++.

http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/c...dio/fread.html

Can you please tell me how to delete a file (from the operation
system) in c++?

Thank you.

Yes, 'std::remove'. Part of the Standard C library (and C++, by
inclusion). What example do you need? RTFM and write your own.

The *proper*, portable answer has already been given, use remove. Please
don't make suggestions for inferior ways to do things, especially when the
right way is right in front of you..
