Please stop emailing basic questions to this mailing list - this is
not the right place to ask how to use C++.

No, it doesn't work, your find(10) will find a key with value char(10).

As Chris told you already, you need to iterate through every element
of the map and inspect the values in order to find the elements you
want to delete.
