The only time it is needed or used is if you start a debugging session, oterwise you can delete it.

I rebuild the solution and problem was resolved. But why this error comes because one day before when I rebuild and debugged my program it takes input and crash after that with the pdb file error message.

Sorry, I don't know the answer to that. Before you attempt to debug you have to make sure there were no compiler-reported errors. You should also resolve all the warnings that occur in the code you wrote (not the compiler's header files). The compiler will not generate the pdb file if there were errors in your program.
