The following is totally untested, but should come close to what you want. If the lines printed out by this look like the mv commands you hope to run, remove the echo from the awk script and run it again to actually remove the files:
On some systems, this could be made to run considerably faster by changing it to:
but the awk nextfile command is not present in all versions of awk and you didn't bother to tell us what operating system or shell you're using (so we can't rely on it being available in your environment).

IGAWK(1) Utility Commands IGAWK(1)NAME
igawk - gawk with include files
SYNOPSIS
igawk [ all gawk options ] -f program-file [ -- ] file ...
igawk [ all gawk options ] [ -- ] program-text file ...
DESCRIPTION
Igawk is a simple shell script that adds the ability to have ``include files'' to gawk(1).
AWK programs for igawk are the same as for gawk, except that, in addition, you may have lines like
@include getopt.awk
in your program to include the file getopt.awk from either the current directory or one of the other directories in the search path.
OPTIONS
See gawk(1) for a full description of the AWK language and the options that gawk supports.
EXAMPLES
cat << EOF > test.awk
@include getopt.awk
BEGIN {
while (getopt(ARGC, ARGV, "am:q") != -1)
...
}
EOF
igawk -f test.awk
