DeleteMenu function (winuser.h)
Deletes an item from the specified menu. If the menu item opens a menu or submenu, this function destroys the handle to the menu or submenu and frees the memory used by the menu or submenu.

[in] HMENU hMenu,
[in] UINT uPosition,
[in] UINT uFlags
);

The menu item to be deleted, as determined by the uFlags parameter.
[in] uFlags

If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.
If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
The application must call the DrawMenuBar function whenever a menu changes, whether the menu is in a displayed window.
