Re: deleting files

My usual approach to things like this is:
1. make sure I can delete the file manually - including while your program is running - maybe it's in use.
2. hard-code the file name and path in the delete_file() call, so you know it is correct, i.e. not being mangled in some way, perhaps excess or missing slashes, etc. IOW, pass delete_file() a plain old string and see what happens.
3. if the hard-coded file is deleted, then obviously previous code which builds the file/path is buggy. Add display() at each step and work your way backward until you find the place it goes wrong.
BTW: what's with the puts(1,to_string(FileName) & " ") ? Does the filename look different if you just use puts(1,FileName & " ")
