Realize scripting is just putting into a file what you would do manually (but adding the 'thinking' part - the logic to delete only those files - is the hard part).
You could take your command and put it in a script to collect the file names, and then loop through them and delete. You would have to pull out the last piece of the ls -lt (after confirming it to be in the range you want to delete) and delete it.
You also have to watch out that the file you are going to delete isn't a directory, that you set yourself into the correct directory...
Your first step, finding your files is coverend in your command:
ls -lt | grep "Aug 26" | grep 11:14
Put that into an awk statement to print the last portion of the string (the filename), check that it is a text file (or whatever) and not a directory, special, link, ... file, then delete it.

delete_clearinghouse
delete clearinghouse(1m) delete clearinghouse(1m)
NAME
delete clearinghouse - Deletes the specified clearinghouse from the local server system
SYNOPSIS
cdscp delete clearinghouse clearinghouse-name
ARGUMENT
The full name of the clearinghouse.
DESCRIPTION
The delete clearinghouse command deletes a clearinghouse from the local server system. CDS does not permit you to delete a cleared clear-
inghouse. Before you can delete a cleared clearinghouse, you must recreate it using the create clearinghouse command.
The delete clearinghouse command automatically deletes all read-only replicas from a clearinghouse. CDS does not permit you to delete a
clearinghouse that contains a master replica. See the DCE Directory Service module of the DCE Administration Guide for more information
about handling master replicas when deleting a clearinghouse.
Permissions Required
You must have write and delete permission to the clearinghouse and administer permission to all directories that store replicas in the
clearinghouse. The server principal needs delete permission to the associated clearinghouse object entry and administer permission to all
directories that store replicas in the clearinghouse.
NOTES
It is recommended that you delete all replicas except the root before issuing this command.
This command is replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command and may not be provided in future releases of DCE.
EXAMPLE
The following command deletes a clearinghouse named /.:/sales/Orion_CH from the local server system: cdscp> delete clearinghouse
/.:/sales/Orion_CH
RELATED INFORMATION
Commands: clear clearinghouse(1m), create clearinghouse(1m), list clearinghouse(1m), set cdscp preferred clearinghouse(1m), show clearing-
house(1m), show cdscp preferred clearinghouse(1m)
