Question Is There A Way To Edit Multiple Folder Titles At The Same Time?

[SteveWonda]

Pretty straight forward question here. I need to remove the "[MP3] [UnknownB-UnknownkHz]" from each folder title. Is there a way to select all folders and delete only that text?

ReNamer or Advanced Renamer can probably do this.

"Advanced Renamer is a program for renaming multiple files and folders at once. "


Set up a rule, add the relevant folders.

Test on a sample copy before going nuts with the whole thing.

Thank you very much! The advanced renamer had the option for bulk folder renaming by entering a pattern (what I needed removed) to remove & rename. Sometimes I have 300+ folders like this and this will save me a lot of time.

Sounds like you need to tweak the software creating those folders.

Yeah, it looks a lot like a tagging naming scheme in something like MP3tag that hasn't been edited very well. Usually best to get the problem at the source rather than correct the symptoms.

I won't BS you guys. It's a bot that rips from streaming platforms. I've tried to figure out a way to have it not include that extra info but there's nothing I can do on my end as it's not my bot. It literally took 15 seconds to rename those after opening the program so I'm very happy with it.
