trying to delete sheets

New question. I now have a workflow that runs with all my files, which gives me a lot and is very messy. However, this is a step in the right direction! I am trying to delete all the sheets in these files that start with “DECS” because I don’t need them and it is just adding a lot of unnecessary run time and data. Is there a way to do this? I know sample let’s you skip every N or lets you start at a certain row, etc., but those won’t work for my case. Any help?

If you open that macro to edit (as pictured below), you can add a Filter tool to add your condition of only returning sheets starting with DECS. Doing this to the macro will of course no longer work with other workflows that it's used to read in other files, but you can make the necessary edits to the macro to add more interface options that can be used to dynamically make these adjustments. However, if you're looking for a quick fix, this is it.
