Thanks!  The second command worked for me.  I added rm to it.  rm ` ls 
-l | awk '$3 == "myname" {print $9;}'`  And I actually understand it. 
awk reads the third column which is my username and it prints out the 
ninth column which is the filename owned by me.  awk is a little bit 
scary, but it's cool.
