I believe that command you are looking for is unlink( ); IT is included in the unistd.h header file.

Just in case you're speaking of windows:

Iirc, the unistd.h is only in the POSIX standard C lib(variants, derivations?). It would work in windows if compiled under SFU or Cygwin. Other than that, try to find unlink() in a windows lib. Their are other way, but the suggested method above should be effective.
