Removing an element from a library - powershell

Question

I have a library in a list which contains a document I want to delete. This has to be done for site collections, so I decided to make a script do it.
#Set the Error Action
$ErrorActionPreference = "Stop"
Try{
$customers = $SiteURL.GetFolder
foreach ($customer in $customers){
#customer is a list that contains the library sitepages
$customerlists = $customer.List.TryGetList("Site Pages")
#correctitem is the document item that I want to remove
$correctitem = $customerlists.List.TryGetList("123")
if ($correctitem){
#delete it (havent gotten here yet)
}
}
}
catch {
Write-Host $_.Exception.Message -ForegroundColor Red
}
finally {
#Reset the Error Action to Default
$ErrorActionPreference = "Continue"
}
However, I cant get it to work. The URL works, but the customers variable, when I try to Write-Host it does not display anything.
Any ideas?

If you want to delete a document from a document library, the PowerShell script below for your reference:
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SharePoint")
$site = new-object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite("http://sharepoint-site-url")
$web = $site.openweb()
$list=$web.Lists["Site Pages"]
$listItems = $list.Items
$listItemsTotal = $listItems.Count
Write-Host $listItemsTotal
for ($x=$listItemsTotal-1;$x -ge 0; $x--)
{
if($listItems[$x].name.Contains("123")) # file refers to the name of the document
{
Write-Host("DELETED: " + $listItems[$x].name)
$listItems[$x].Delete()
}
}
