you used to be able to fit a game on a disk, then you used to be able to fit a game on a cd, then you used to be able to fit a game on a dvd, now you can barely fit one on your harddrive.

Visual C++ 2010 supports _unlink, but earlier versions (2008?) had to use remove(). Just something to consider if you run into issues with other compilers out there.

I just use remove(), just pass it the filename (including path if needed)
