There's no native support for SFTP in PowerShell. You have to use a 3rd party SFTP library.
For example with WinSCP .NET assembly, you can do this:
Add-Type -Path "WinSCPnet.dll"
$sessionOptions = New-Object WinSCP.SessionOptions -Property @{
Protocol = [WinSCP.Protocol]::Sftp
HostName = "example.com"
UserName = "username"
Password = "password"
SshHostKeyFingerprint = "ssh-rsa 2048 ..."
}
$session = New-Object WinSCP.Session
$session.Open($sessionOptions)
$session.RemoveFiles("/remote/path/*string*").Check()
$session.Dispose()
WinSCP GUI can generate code template for you.

Add-Type -Path "pathtoRenci.SshNet.dll"
$conn = New-Object Renci.SshNet.SftpClient -ArgumentList @($HostName, $PortNumber, $UserName, $Password)

$files = $conn.ListDirectory("DirName").FullName | where { $_ -like "*.csv"}
$files | foreach { $conn.Delete($_) }

$files | foreach { $conn.Delete($_) }
You can also install GitBash, then you'll have ssh command available in your terminal.
