On Linux you need to use the function remove.
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
remove("caminho completo do arquivo ex. /home/user/arquivo.txt");
return 0;
}
Refer to the function manual remove.
NOTE: In C we call this function, not method.

This is the canonical form in C, whether on Linux or any operating system.

basic example with a simple test to see if it was deleted or not.
int retorno;
char arquivo[] = "arquivo.txt";
retorno = remove(arquivo);
if(retorno == 0) {
printf("deletado");
} else {
printf("nao deletado");
}

The function is called remove(), stated in <stdio.h>. Read about it in your favorite reference (as you seem to use Windows, it will probably be MSDN).
To delete a file, we use the function remove("nome_do_arquivo"). In the example below the program will delete the file stack.txt:
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
remove("stack.txt");
return 0;
}
I hope I’ve helped.
