How can i delete the file in the middle of the program in C++
remove(filepath) library function declared in <cstdio>. 
boost::filesystem also provides

remove as a portable means to delete a file.http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_38_0...ions-functions

boost is unnecessary - anytime anyone suggest a usage.

It would be perfectly reasonable to use in this case if the programmer has already put Boost in their toolkit.

Every library is there to make our life a little easier and so we don't have to re-invent the wheel everyday. Boost is a great example and should be put to use if someone finds it helpful.

Otherwise let's discuss all great (and not only great) libraries where remove file functions exist. Let's consider how to use the Great Boost Library instead STL for streams, big num libraries instead of builtin operator +(POD,POD) and so on...
Keep it simpler
