line 5 is wrong -- notename[x] is a single character and c_str() returns a string. Maybe line 1 is incorrect -- string notename[10]; which would mean notename is an array of string objects.

string notename = "filename.txt";
x = 1;

cout << notename << endl;
if(remove(notename.c_str()) != 0)
{
perror( "Error deleting file" );
}
else
{
cout << "File successfully deleted";
}
