Run
lscommand. If you see the needed files and folders, then you can go to Step 2If the needed content is in a subdirectory, reach it by running:
cd path/to/files
where "path/to/files" is changed by an actual path to your files. For example, if your files are located in public_html/new/version1, then the command should be "cd new/version1".
Step 2 - Deleting

rm filename.php
rm filename1.php filename2.php filename3.php
