remove specific characters from the filename using Python

how to rename multiple files from a folder by deleting only the underline character?

Ex: 1_2_3.txt To 123.txt

Solution

  • Use Python's os package

    folder_path = "INSERT PATH TO YOUR FOLDER HERE"
for filename in os.listdir(folder_path):
    if "_" in filename:
        new_filename = filename.replace("_", "")
        os.rename(os.path.join(folder_path, filename), os.path.join(folder_path, new_filename))
