If you don't have any other matching files you can use
rm PTT-*[0-9].wav
or even
rm *[0-9].wav
assuming all file names without _s end with a digit before .wav.
I suggest to try with echo instead of rm first or use rm -i to get a confirmation request for every file to avoid accidentally removing the wrong files.
