The error message “Matrix index is out of range for deletion” typically occurs when you’re trying to delete an element at an index that doesn’t exist in the matrix. In your case, it seems like the error is occurring at the line

Age(i)=[];.

This could be happening because the index i returned by the search_emp(e) function is greater than the length of the Age array. It’s also possible that search_emp(e) is returning 0 or a negative number, which would also be an invalid index.
