Umbe, can you give some more details on the code? how was the array allocated? int arr[SIZE]; or int *arr = new int[SIZE];

You can't delete array cells int arr[] = {1,2,3,4} for example has a fixed size of 4, you can't make it smaller or bigger. In order to support deletion ( and adding ) you have to look for dynamic arrays ( int * arr = new int[size]) But since this is quite hard to manage correctly C++ provides you with wrappers to manage this for you vectors are what you're looking for which support adding and deletion. http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/vector/vector/

If you have the array allocated by new you can simply call delete[] arr;
