Strip Leading part of a name and overwrite existing file

Postby Erolas » Tue Mar 22, 2016 9:02 pm

I have a question.

I am helping a friend recover from a cryptovirus. They ended up paying the ransom and ran the decrypt program, but it left all the files with "DECRYPT_filename" as a result. It also left the old encrypted filenames behind.

How can I strip the "DECRYPT_" from the beginning of the name? and then overwrite the old existing files?

What a pain in the neck.

Thanks
Erolas

Select all file name starting with DECRYPT_ with Filters (12)
Use Remove (5)on them and Move To Location (13) to copy to a new location.
