Making lots of unfounded assumptions about the names of the files you want to remove, assuming that the file containing the list of files you want to remove is named /sub/01.05/input, assuming that you are using some kind of UNIX or Linux system, and assuming that you are using a shell that adheres to POSIX shell language requirements, try:
Code:
cd /sub/01.05/ && xargs rm < input

If I guessed incorrectly or made bad assumptions, maybe you'll answer some of the questions I asked so we don't have to make assumptions and wild guesses.
