Deleting files PLEASE HELP!

[iiApexii]

I am trying to teach myself file I/O by making a address book program where the user can create, edit, and list all of their contacts. The issue I am having is that I want them to be able to delete a contact, i can't use the 'remove()' function because it only takes const char's. The issue is in the second switch statement. Here is my code:

This is just the edit function.

system("cls");
	string line;

	cout << " _-=*******************************AdressBook*******************************=-_" << endl;
	cout << "|                                                                              |" << endl;
	cout << "|                                                                              |" << endl;
	cout << "|                                                                              |" << endl;
	cout << "|                            *Enter the name of the                            |" << endl;
	cout << "|                                                                              |" << endl;
	cout << "|                            contact you would like                            |" << endl;
	cout << "|                                                                              |" << endl;
	cout << "|                                   to edit*                                   |" << endl;
	cout << "|                                                                              |" << endl;
	cout << "|                                                                              |" << endl;
	cout << "|______________________________________________________________________________|" << endl << endl;
	cout << "Name of the contact: ";
	cin >> Person.Name;

	ifstream file ("Contacts\\" + Person.Name + ".cnt");
	
	while(!file.eof()){

		for(int i = 0; i < 4; i++){
		
			getline(file, line);
			if(i == 0){
				Person.Name = line;
			}else if(i == 1){
				Person.CellNumber = line;
			}else if(i == 2){
				Person.PhoneNumber = line;
			}else if(i == 3){
				Person.StreetAdress = line;
			}

		}		

		break;

	}

	fs.close();

	cout << "_--=*******************************AdressBook*******************************=--_" << endl;
	cout << "|                                                                              |" << endl;

	cout << "What do you want to do(N/C/H/A or 'D' to delete): ";
	cin >> MenuDecision;

	switch(MenuDecision){

	}

	return 0;

}

Try to keep it simple because I am kind of a newbie. If it has to be complicated try explaining it to me.

Thank you.

If you wrote that function, why not just change it to take a string? If not, just pass ("Contacts\\" + Person.Name + ".cnt").c_str()

no remove isn't my own function, it deletes files. look up the syntax for remove for c++. it says it takes const char's. And i tried the the .c_str, and that didn't delete the file. It didn't do anything actually.

EDIT: Okay the .c_str() thing worked its just that the destination was wrong but thank you so much!

Check and see if the remove failed and why.
Example here: http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/cstdio/remove/

Okay it actually doesn't still work and this is getting very frustrating. The remove thing only works if there isn't and variable involved and when i do add in Person.Name it stops working.

I get it now! I was trying to delete the file while it was still in use. Thats why it wasn't deleting thanks so much for helping me out. And sorry that I have been a bit confusing.
