Depending upon your exact needs, something like this might do it:
cd <your folder>
find . -maxdepth 1 -name \*Small\* exec rm -i {} \;
if that complains about "command too long" or similar, try this:
find . -maxdepth 1 -name \*Small\* -print | xargs rm -i
this will search only the current directory, not any subdirectories.
if you want to search subdirectories too, remove the "-maxdepth 1".
