The quick method is to run a search on them in the client, using this search syntax:

{LF:ID=123}|{LF:ID=1234}

Then delete all of the search results.

A more advanced method is to use the SDK.

On way of doing this would be to use workflow. 

Import that list of ID's to SQL database. Workflow will read each ID , find that entry and delete it.

Thank you.

Both the responses answered my question.

I used excel concatenation function to generate the search string (=CONCATENATE(B1,"{LF:ID=",A2,"}|").

Pasted the full result string in advanced search. Then deleted all results.
