You are trying to remove the files whose names are given by
ls -lt | awk '{if ($8 =3D=3D 2006) print $9}';
If you are in the same directory, or you have full pathnames, you can
do just (and avoid the 'for do done' loop)
rm $( ls -lt | awk '{if ($8 =3D=3D 2006) print $9}' )
If this exceeds the maximum length of a line, just use xargs also.
