when many file names contain redundant words or redundant prefixes and suffixes, we need to delete these redundant characters in batches to make the file names more concise and clear. Hundreds of file names, renaming one by one is too time-consuming. Here are three ways to modify file names in batches: HeSoft Doc Batch Tool , RenameFilesOnline, Nomio. You can batch delete the same text in all file names with one click, and it can be done in a few seconds, greatly improving work efficiency.
Scenarios for uniformly deleting the same text in file names
1. Files downloaded from the Internet will automatically carry website logos, such as "2024 Exam True Question_From XXX Website.docx", "2025 Exam True Question_From XXX Websites", etc. The identifier after the file name is very redundant and has no practical meaning, so these suffixes need to be deleted uniformly.
2. When taking batch screenshots, the system has the default prefix, such as "". We only need to keep the time and number of screenshots. The previous "Screenshot_" appears to be more than enough, so we should delete all of them.
3. Dozens of documents have been copied in batches, and all the names of the documents are followed by the suffix of "-copy". When these documents are uniformly sorted and filed, the "-copy" after all the file names need to be uniformly deleted to ensure that the file names are standard and tidy.
4. When sorting out materials, each material is preceded by a holiday logo, such as "Christmas_advertisement copy" and "Christmas_publicity poster". After all these materials are classified into the "Christmas" folder, the prefix "Christmas_" in front of the file name should be deleted to avoid duplication.
