Powershell to Delete files based on CSV

Question

I am trying to delete bunch of files based on a csv file. Files listed in the csv file should be deleted from the target file share. When I run the script I am in the target folder but I am getting the following error:

Remove-Item : The input object cannot be bound to any parameters for the command either because the command does not take pipeline input or the input and its properties 
do not match any of the parameters that take pipeline input.
At line:9 char:56
+     Get-Childitem | where {$_.Name -match $filename} | Remove-Item -verbose -$fi ...
+                                                        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidArgument: (gp.html:PSObject) [Remove-Item], ParameterBindingException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : InputObjectNotBound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.RemoveItemCommand

Code below:

$csvFile = Import-csv "C:\\DeleteFiles.csv"
foreach($user in $csvFile)
{
    $filename = $user.FileName
    write-host $filename    
    Get-Childitem | where {$_.Name -match $filename} | Remove-Item -verbose -$fileName
}

According to your comment, you have some empty filenames in the csv file. This solution should be more robust:

$csvFile = Import-csv "C:\\DeleteFiles.csv"
foreach($user in $csvFile)
{
  $filename = $user.FileName
  write-host "The filename is '$filename'" 
  if (test-path $filename) 
  {
    Remove-Item -verbose $fileName
  }
  else
  {
    Write-Host "File '$filename' not found"
  }
}
