    Renaming mutiple files in bulk to remove unwanted extension type


    Since the OP thread for this same topic is closed, I'm asking in a new thread as for clarification. From what I understand Keith A. Miller is explaining, the base command is: gci 'pathtodirectory*.unwantedextension' -recurse ren -NewName {$_.BaseName} The strikethrough's are the variables, changing as needed per specific usage per user, correct?

    :)

    Bulk delete file extensions

    Are you wanting to rename files in a way that removes their extension?

    Where are you seeing these extensions?

    I have mutiple files with extensions -Layout1. Does anyone know how to batch remove the extension? Thanks.

    Here you go:

    1. Open Windows Explorer.
    2. Navigate to the folder to be treated.
    3. Press Ctrl+L
    4. Type this command:

      cmd /c ren *.Layout1 *.

    Renaming mutiple files in bulk to remove unwanted extension type

    How to change File Extension on Multiple Files

    I have a bulk loader for CAD files into PTC Windchill, when validating the relationships are valid between the various files it will put a .quarantee extension to allow those that are good to continue to be processed.

    Once I resolve the issue with the quarantee file I can then process once I remove the .quarantee extension that was added to the original file name.

    I would like to bulk remove the .quarantee extension so I don't have to rename each file manually.
