getting list of top space consuming files and remove it

Question

I am using du -hsx * | sort -rh | head -10 to get top 10 space consuming files in directory. So I would like to know how to pass output of above command and delete those files. I know about xargs but I don't know how to incorporate it in my command, so any help would be appreciated ?

Thanks
