Using find command to delete file with certain size

If you're having problem distinguishing suspected incomplete file with the complete ones, you may use find command on Linux command line. Assume here, complete file is 300M above... as you can see below, there are JPG files which are also unneeded:

-Use find for sanity check.. listing .. and you can cross-check with the above list output

# find . -type f -size -300M
./House MD.2x02.Autopsy.avi.jpg
./House MD.2x10.Failure To Communicate.avi
./House MD.2x11.Need To Know.avi
./House MD.2x01.Acceptance Internal.avi.jpg
./House MD.2x05.Daddy's Boy.avi.jpg
./House MD.2x06.Spin.avi.jpg
./House MD.2x03.Humpty Dumpty.avi.jpg
./House MD.2x09.Deception.avi
./House MD.2x04.TB Or Not TB.avi.jpg
./House MD.2x08.The Mistake.avi.jpg
