I need to rename over 100 folders.

Currently the folder names include a comma. for example:

Week1, Monday

I need to rename this to:

Week1 Monday

I just simply need to remove the comma.

I’d like to be able to do this in Powershell if possible, but any way will be great.

I’ve tried a few things, but I’m not getting anywhere.

Thanks for any help.

Have what you tried where are you stuck?

Have you looked at the PowerRename feature of Microsoft PowerToys?

It maybe able to do what you are looking to do.

I use this quite a lot. I use it on files but it says it will do folders as well.

I agree, PowerShell all the way…

https://ss64.com/ps/replace.html

#Get all the sub directories of the main
Get-ChildItem -Path C:\Temp -Directory | ForEach-Object {
   #do something with each directory.
   Rename-Item $_.FullName -NewName $_.FullName.Replace(",","")
}

From there you can use any variation of string manipulation to get the desired output, in this example I just removed the “,”, but you could add formatted dates, make decisions based on directory name, etc…
