Are you sure linq-to-sql is appropriate? Barring further info, this is an in-memory collection. — Anthony Pegram

Does this work for you?

C#

MyFiles.RemoveAll((string s) => s.Contains("1"))

I code in VB.NET:

MyFiles.RemoveAll(Function(s As String) s.Contains("1"))

Sorry for the seemingly duplicate answer, there were no answers when I clicked the link. I had to go and convert the VB to C#, came back, posted, and there was the answer already.
