Thanks for the comments Methyl and Dave.
The answer by Dave doesnt work. it simply removes the content of the tobedeted.txt.
The actual dir structure is like
in the main_dir
there are subdirs like AAA, BBB, CCC, ....
inside AAA there are subdirs like aa1, aa2, aa3, ...
inside aa1 there are files like AAA_aa1_file1.txt, AAA_aa1_fileextra.txt, AAA_aa1_mod43a4.txt, ....
inside aa2 there are files like AAA_aa2_file1.txt, AAA_aa2_fileextra.txt, AAA_aa2_mod43a4.txt, ....
inside BBB there are subdirs like bb1, bb2, bb3, ...
inside bb1 there are files like BBB_bb1_file1.txt, BBB_bb1_fileextra.txt, BBB_bb1_mod43a4.txt, ....
inside bb2 there are files like BBB_bb2_file1.txt, BBB_bb2_fileextra.txt, BBB_bb2_mod43a4.txt, ....
and so on...up to many hundred of files. I managed to the get the filenames which I must delete.
e.g. the content of tobedeleted.txt is
AAA_aa1_fileextra.txt
BBB_bb1_file1.txt
BBB_bb1_mod43a4.txt
CCC_cc4_mfg54d2.txt
GGG_gg6_hd21s1.txt
and so on....
i hope there is a way!
