Grep question

I'm using grep in a shell and I was wondering:

Can I grep a file and then delete all files that contain what it returns?

So instead of grep 'blah' * and I have 50 files that have blah in it and I would have to delete all 50 manually, how would I just delete them all in one fell swoop?
