if there are so many that you're finding the previously suggested
techniques difficult to use, you can try the brute-force I sometimes
use...
run:
ls > list
then edit the file (list) with a decent text editor, one in which
you can use one command to place text at the beginning of every line
such that every line then turns out to read:
rm file1
rm file2
etc, as well as removing any lines for files you do NOT want to remove.
if you have 'vi', this command will do the edits for you:
":1,$s/^/rm /"
then make the file executable:
chmod a+x list
then run it:
./list
