  'Here MyListVBox1 is Listview Control
  Dim i As Integer
  i = 1
  While Not i = 10
      MyListVBox1.ListItems.Add , , Right("0000" & i, 4)
      MyListVBox1.ListItems(i).ListSubItems.Add , , "A" & i

So, we write code for deletion from Bottom to Top Loop. For this process, we drag a button and write code inside it, like bellow.

Private Sub RemoveItems_cmd_Click() 
   Dim rm1 As Integer
   rm1 = MyListVBox1.ListItems.Count
   While rm1 > 0
       If MyListVBox1.ListItems(rm1).Checked = True Then
           MyListVBox1.ListItems.Remove (rm1)
       End If
       rm1 = rm1 - 1
       DoEvents
   Wend
   MsgBox "Checked Items Deleted Or Removed Successfully.", vbInformation
End Sub

  MyListVBox2.ListItems.Clear
  Dim rm1, ls2 As Integer
  ls2 = 1
  rm1 = MyListVBox.ListItems.Count
  While rm1 > 0
      If MyListVBox.ListItems(rm1).Checked = True Then
        'add checked item in another listview control
        MyListVBox2.ListItems.Add , , MyVListBox.ListItems(rm1).Text
        MyListVBox2.ListItems(ls2).ListSubItems.Add , , MyListVBox.ListItems(rm1).SubItems(1)
        MyListVBox2.ListItems(ls2).ListSubItems.Add , , MyListVBox.ListItems(rm1).SubItems(2)

        MyListVBox1.ListItems.Remove (rm1)

        ls2 = ls2 + 1
    End If
    rm1 = rm1 - 1
    DoEvents
 Wend
 MsgBox "Checked Items Deleted Or Removed Successfully.", vbInformation
