How to delete multiple particular files from folder?

Suppose you have 1000000 text files, 10000 of  power point files, numbers of images in jpg format with different names in a folder where many of the other files and folders are there. Now you don’t need few of the files having specific extension like .txt ,.pptx etc and you want to delete all those unnecessary files.But you know that  it’s a huge task to delete all files one by one.


How will you do this?



Will you delete it by searching specific extension from search box?

 But what you will do when you have  hundreds  of the extension?

Will you select all particular files using control key and mouse or control key and space?
