Take a look into the reference page for std::remove on how to use it to remove files.

Concerning your OS, std::remove doesn't randomly kill OSs. Last time I tried it, the function worked as expected.

"last time i ran this command in C code it remove my operating system".

No, it didn't. Something else did, and we have no crystal ball to guess what that was.
