How to remove files that start with 2011XXXX

Question

I have a bunch of files i need to delete, they all start with 2011XXXX. How would i delete them. So far i have this command:

ls | grep 2011 | xargs rm 

And it works, but is there a better way to do this ?

Answer 1

If the files are all in the current folder, how about just rm 2011*? :)
