if you get two many files error use command and so on..

Code:

/bin/rm -f a*
/bin/rm -f b*

You can also put for loop;

Code:

for f in a b c d .... z
do
   /bin/rm -f $f*
done

Please be more precise about your question, especially any errors or problems you have. It sounds like a homework problem.

Meanwhile, look a the "find" manual page (i.e.: man find) and pay attention to the -size and -type options. Then, look at the "xargs" page (i.e.: man xargs).
