This is in test mode and will only show the files it would delete. Remove the -WhatIf at the end to run it for real:
Get-ChildItem -File -Path C:\folder\files | Where-Object {($_.Extension -eq '.csv') -or ($_.BaseName -like 'rev_csv*') -or ($_.BaseName -like '*rev_csv'} | Remove-Item -Force -WhatIf
You could try this :
Function invoke-remove-specified_csv($FolderLocation){
Parm(
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
#$FolderLocation = "c:\folder\files\"
$FolderLocation
)
$filesFound = Get-ChildItem -Path $FolderLocation |? {(($_ -like "*csv*") -or ($_ -like "*rev_csv*"))}
write-host -ForegroundColor Green "The following Files were Found : Press any key to Remove them or press Ctrl C to end."
$filesFound
pause
write-host "Removing Files Specified"
$filesFound |Remove-Item
}
