Cleaning up, deleting variables

[Cero.Uno]

I have an enquiry into C, I'm pretty sure in the past playing around with C++ in bloodshev there being a delete keyword that deletes a variable from memory, is this available in ANSI C ?

Since other languages have this important function, does it exist in some library where I can incorporate it into C.

undefined reference to `delete'

C uses malloc() and free(), whereas C++ uses new() and delete().

And if you want to know, malloc(...) and free() are defined in stdlib.h.
