Delete Itseft In C++

It  cleans up  itself  .
bool DeleteItself(string PathName , string FileName)
{
 char *pathResult= (char *)malloc( 256*( sizeof(char)) );
 if(pathResult == NULL)
 {
   return false;
 }
 sprintf(pathResult, "%s%s", PathName.c_str(),"\\Uninstall.bat");
 FILE* log;
 errno_t err  = fopen_s(&log ,pathResult, "a+");
 if (err != 0)
 {
  return FALSE;
 }
 fprintf(log, "%s%s%s%s\n","DEL ",PathName.c_str(),"\\",FileName.c_str());
 fprintf(log, "%s%s%s%s\n","DEl ",PathName.c_str(),"\\","Uninstall.bat");
 fclose(log);

 ShellExecuteA(NULL,
            "open",
            pathResult,

            NULL,

 }
