Delete part of name on Multiple Files

[JuanMena]

EDIT: So Alexander stops whining

Open Powershell. And it should start with C:\Username

Followed of that, type: cd route of files. For instance:

cd Music\Playlist

Press enter.

Then copy paste this code:
Dir | Rename-Item -NewName {$_.name -replace "OLD-FILE-NAME-PART",""}

Press enter.

Bold text indicates that you have to type whatever you want to erase from your files in that folder.

That's it.

To replace part of the name of the files:
Dir | Rename-Item -NewName {$_.name -replace "OLD-FILE-NAME-PART,"NEW-FILE-NAME-PART"}

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Jokes aside, it saved me from manually renaming over 18GB of files

Or for people not living in powershell, download Total Commander, it is free to use (with an option to remove the license nag against a donation) and has a multi rename tool included, that can be used without relying on google foo for the powershell equivalent of sed.

You first have to mark al the files it should take into consideration. So ctrl+A in the directory. (Or by rightclicking individual files, or shift rightclicking..)

edit: Afair this also supports wildcards and regex. (So you could easily rename files with different numbers in them f.e. in bulk, this way.)
