    Undoing a certain PowerRename name will delete? files


    I'd just like to start off by saying I've really been enjoying using PowerRename. However I've stumbled across a bug relating to undoing certain names that seems to delete files. I've recreated exactly what I did to stumble across this,1: create a set of 3 files as such :New Text Document replaced 1.txtNew Text Document replaced 12.txtNew Text Document replaced 123.txt2: select all of them and rename with PowerRename, 3: Turn on "Use regular expressions",in the "Search for" section, enter "replaced.+" to replace everything after the text "replace" in the file namesin the "Replace with" section

    :)

    (Undo) have deleted my files !

    Hi, I'm a video editor using Adobe Premiere Pro.

    When I export a video, (VIDEO V), in a folder (FOLDER F). Everything works fine! But when I do (UNDO) in (FOLDER F), it deletes my exported video!

    E.g:

    Step 1: FOLDER F = EMPTY

    Step 2: FOLDER F = FULL

    Step 3 - I UNDO! and it comes back to (Step 1 : FOLDER F = EMPTY)

    Please this is extremely frustrating! I have to displace my files a lot and when a displace in the wrong folder, I do undo a lot! BUT I LOSE MY VIDEOS! Please, fix this! I have to restart all over !

    reg deletions need undoing?

    Pursuing a suggested fix for Windows 10 telling me "managed by your organization", I performed the list of register deletions suggested at Redirecting, by DaveM121. The results were fine -- W10 no longer tells me that after the reg deletions and restart.

    Do I need to undo any of the deletions?

    Undoing a certain PowerRename name will delete? files

    BAT file or script to add date of creation (YYYY MM DD) prefix to file name?

    You may try PowerRename (part of Microsoft PowerToys).

    Pls check out this example:
