You can use

find . -type f -name "*.[sS]mall*" | egrep "\.jpg|\.png|\.bmp" >/tmp/L
while read line
do
rm $line
done < /tmp/L

/tmp/L contains a list of files that match the regular _expression_ in the egrep command. You can then read the file line by line and remove the files.

This would delete all Files with Small or small in the filenames.
I want to delete image files [png,jpg,bmp] only not music files with
small in their names too
