Gene Johannsen writes that he wants to delete a file from a C program,
but

     remove() and unlink() just aren't working.  They each leave lost
     clusters behind.

This is almost certainly because (a) you are using MS-DOS and (b) you
are deleting a file that is open for writing.  The solution is to
either use some other operating system or close the file first.
