Thank you.
I was trying but some how the script does not work.

awk '/ShortName/ && A[$0] {print FILENAME} {A[$0]=1}' infile* | xargs echo rm

Could you please tell me what this subscript A[$0] and A[$0]=1 means
$0 represent the complete line.
A[$0]=1 assignment

this statement work
awk '/ShortName/ {print FILENAME, $2}' file1
where $2 the value of ShortName
