Greetings , this is what i am trying based on title of the column in this case : Name I am trying to delete the file.
The script runs with no errors , but i dont get the file deleted.
Please find the below lines of code , I made changes to & kindly suggest.
if($fname["Name"] -eq "notfoundchanged5.34.xslx")
{
$Ctx.load($Folder.files)
$fname.delete()
Write-host -f Magenta $fname
$Ctx.ExecuteQuery()
}
Name is the name of the column value in the document library , I am checking with and using delete to delete the file.

Eswar2015 So, this is a bit difficult to follow, but I think you need to use DeleteObject(). Take a look at this blog post http://www.sharepointdiary.com/2017/02/sharepoint-online-delete-file-from-document-library-using-powershell.html
It's using ID, but you can change that for matching against your title.
Thanks for the reply,will check actually my file relative url is based on a name like (SOP & it should check all files in the library and should delete those files whose name starts with SOP).
Do we have any dynamic way, to get the fileref/url name either by PNP or by PS script.
Kindly Suggest.
Thanks,

EncodedAbsUrl property should give you the full URL including file name i.e. item["EncodedAbsUrl"]
