Try this:
#include <cstdio>
const char* file_to_delete = "c:\samplefile.exe"
std::remove(file_to_delete);
The user running the program should have permission to delete that file(be admin or so)...

You should also put some checks in to determine whether or not the file was actually deleted, and what to do in that case. The example on the page you referenced showed a good example of how to do that.
