If you want to delete Sitecore items whose name ends with some characters (say, v2),

• Use to delete or recycle an item.

• Accepts items returned by Get-Item and Get-ChildItem.

$rootPath = "/sitecore/content/sitename" # Specify the root path where you want to start searching
$itemsToDelete = Get-ChildItem -Path $rootPath -Recurse | Where-Object { $_.Name -like "*v2" }

foreach ($item in $itemsToDelete) {
    Remove-Item -Path $item.ItemPath -Force
}

Write-Host "$($itemsToDelete.Count) items with 'v2' at the end of their names were deleted."

Similarly, if you want to delete all items whose name does not end with v2, use following:

$itemsToDelete = Get-ChildItem -Path $rootPath -Recurse | Where-Object { $_.Name -notlike "v2$" }

There are other commands from Sitecore PowerShell that can also be of great use in scenarios like this:

Remove-BaseTemplate

Remove one or more base templates from a template item.

Remove-BaseTemplate -Path "master:/sitecore/content/Feature/Product Page" -Template "/sitecore/templates/Feature/BaseContent"

Remove-ArchiveItem

To archive or restore item, follow this.

To removes items permanently from the specified archive, run the following commands:

$database = Get-Database -Name "master"
$archiveName = "recyclebin"
$archive = Get-Archive -Database $database -Name $archiveName
Get-ArchiveItem -Archive $archive | Remove-ArchiveItem

Remove-ItemVersion

Alias: Remove-ItemLanguage

Removes Language/Version from a single item or a branch of items

Remove-ItemVersion -Path master:\content\home -Language * -MaxRecentVersions 3 -Recurse

It will leave the recent 3 versions and delete the older ones. For more syntax for language or version delete, check Remove-ItemVersion
