    nothing of these worked. Was an error on:
    Code:
    remove(myPath.c_str());

    Code:
    #include<iostream>
    #include<string>
    using namespace std;
    
    int main()
    {
    
    char path[81];
    
    cout << "Enter the desired path:";
    cin >> path;
    
    //remove(path.c_str());
    remove(path);
    return 0;
    
    }
    maybe i'm not sure what's wrong the other samples worked fine.
