Delete function not working

[bwilson1]

Hello, I am having issues making my delete function work. My program does compile but my delete function doesn't work any help would be appreciated. I haven't finished my last two functions because I am focusing on the delete but any advice on how to Sell a title and print the value of all sold titles would be nice as well.

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>
#include <cctype>
#include <conio.h>

using namespace std;

//declare variables
void Add();
void Edit();
void Display();
void Delete();
void Sell();
void Value();
void printRecords();

struct Inventory
{
    char title[35], artist[25], type[12];
    int year;
    int price;
    int choice;
    bool dead_flag;




};


int main()
{
    int choice;
    do
    {
        cout << "MENU" << endl;
        cout << "1. Add Record(s): " << endl;
        cout << "2. Display Records: " << endl;
        cout << "3. Edit Records: " << endl;
        cout << "4. Delete Records: " << endl;
        cout << "5. Sell a Title: " << endl;
        cout << "6. Sold Value: " << endl;

        cout << "Please enter your selection.\n> ";
        cin >> choice;

        switch (choice)// change into an if else statement then turn into a function
        {
        case 1:
            Add();//Add record
            break;
        case 2:
            Display();//Display record
            break;
        case 3:
            Edit();//Edit record
            break;
        case 4:
            Delete();//Delete record
            break;
        case 5:
            Sell();  //Sell record
            break;
        case 6:
            //   Value(); //value of sold records
            break;


        default:

        }
    }
    while(choice >= 7);

you have "#include <conio.h>" defined. didn't see any conio.h functions

note

#include <conio.h> errors on cpp.sh. site doesn't have the library
