SummaryEvery day, a large number of files are stored in the folder. Over time, as the number of files increases, these file names may have duplicates, making them difficult to search and manage. Removing duplicate content from multiple file names allows us to intuitively browse and quickly locate the required files based on their names, making the files more uniform and standardized. If the number of files is large, renaming them one by one would reduce efficiency. Below is an introduction to how to batch remove duplicate numbers, symbols, or letters in the names of multiple files.


1、Usage Scenarios

Remove a specific repeated number, letter, symbol, keyword, or key phrase uniformly from the names of a large number of files.

For example: 2024 Document Description.docx, 2024 Document Description.txt, 2024 Document Description.pptx

You need to batch remove the 2024 on the left side of the file name.

After deletion, it becomes Document Description.docx, Document Description.txt, Document Description.pptx
