Unless the assignment requires you to use sed and a regex, your requirements don't indicate you need to use them.

If you know them to be in the set File1.mp3 to File50.mp3, you might be able to do the following:

ls ./File?.mp3 ./File[12345]?.mp3 to see that this list matches up with what you know to be bad
then
rm ./File?.mp3 ./File[12345]?.mp3 to delete them
