How to save and delete some word in the text file in C++ without resetting it?

Every time I open my program the text file becomes empty and how can I save all the inputs in the text file I mean how can I still edit and see my last inputs? And here's my another problem every time I delete a name or an id number this program deletes all my inputs including those are who are not included so how can I delete a word or a text in the text file without affecting the other records, in short how to delete a word specifically?
