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.
