Using rm to remove windows shell file
I am trying to remove several files in a specific location using rm , my question is how can windows shell common files be removed? For example, in the below code all the files without and extension after are windows shell common. Thank you Smilie.

Code:
rm 'C:\Users\cmccabe\Desktop\annovar\"${id}".txt.hg19_clinvar_dropped'
  rm 'C:\Users\cmccabe\Desktop\annovar\"${id}".txt.hg19_clinvar_filtered'
  rm 'C:\Users\cmccabe\Desktop\annovar\"${id}".txt.hg19_clinvarreferece_dropped'
  rm 'C:\Users\cmccabe\Desktop\annovar\"${id}".txt.hg19_clinvarreference_filtered'
  rm 'C:\Users\cmccabe\Desktop\annovar\"${id}".txt.hg19_clinvarsubmit_dropped'
  rm 'C:\Users\cmccabe\Desktop\annovar\"${id}".txt.hg19_clinvarsubmit_filtered'
  rm 'C:\Users\cmccabe\Desktop\annovar\"${id}".txt.hg19_common_dropped'
  rm 'C:\Users\cmccabe\Desktop\annovar\"${id}".txt.hg19_common_filtered'
  rm 'C:\Users\cmccabe\Desktop\annovar\"${id}".txt.hg19_popfreq_all_dropped'
  rm 'C:\Users\cmccabe\Desktop\annovar\"${id}".txt.hg19_popfreq_all_filtered'
  rm 'C:\Users\cmccabe\Desktop\annovar\"${id}".txt.log'
  rm 'C:\Users\cmccabe\Desktop\annovar\"${id}".txt.refGene.exonic_variant_function.xlsx'
  rm 'C:\Users\cmccabe\Desktop\annovar\"${id}".txt.refGene.txt'

No clue what "windows shell common files" would be. Above would not work as within the single quotes, the double quotes are taken literally, and $id will not be expanded.
