I would like to delete a book from the collection by a particular title from my library if the user enters 2 as input for my switch statement. How can I do that with my current code?

#include<stdlib.h>
#define MAX 49
//void addBook(struct library* thislib){
//}
struct book{
     char *title;
     char *author;
     char *subject; //subject[]
};

struct library {
    struct book collection;
    int num_books;
    struct library *next; //store address of next node
};

struct book collection; //supposed to be aBook
struct book *aPtr;
struct library aCollection;
struct library *aaPtr;

int main (void){
    
   FILE *cfPtr; //pointer points to the newly created file

   char strtitle[MAX]; 
   char strauthor[MAX];
   char strsubject[MAX];
   int operation;

   
    if ((cfPtr = fopen("library.dat","w")) == NULL){
        printf("File could not be opened...\n");
    }
   else {

       while (!feof()){
        operate();
        printf("Enter an operation: ");
        scanf("%d", &operation);

          /*case 1: coding of the switch statement*/

            case 2: //here
            if(!isEmpty(aPtr)){ //if list is not empty
                aaPtr = NULL;
                print("%s", "Enter title of the book to delete:\n");
                scanf("%s", &strtitle);

                aCollection.collection = strtitle;
                delete(strtitle);
                printf("The book %s has been removed from the library.", aBook.title);
                fprintf(cfPtr, "The book %s has been removed from the library.", aBook.title);
                }
                else{
                    printf("Item not found!");
                }
                else{
                    puts("List is empty.\n");
                }
            }
            break;

/*unfinished coding, I'm still working on this code*/
