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.
Thank You Very Much
