Hello
and I'm not finding a way to delete duplicate files in the same folder. I have files that are with the following filename.

file.txt
file(2).txt

it is standard to have (2) in these duplicate files.
How do I delete using batch?

Not bullet proof as this can also delete file named foo(bar).txt

Code: Select all

H:\deleteme>dir /a /b
file(2).txt
file(3).txt
file.txt
foobar(1).txt
foobar(2).txt
foobar.txt

H:\deleteme>del *(*).txt

H:\deleteme>dir /a /b
file.txt
foobar.txt

H:\deleteme>
