Remove part of image file name that is unique in each file

Hello,
I have a large number of image files that have a version sequence attached to each one that I need to remove.
Example: 24010450041 (2024_01_16 05_28_37 UTC).ARW I want to remove the (2024...UTC) from all the files that have this stupid inclusion. And, each inclusion is different in each file, which makes it more difficult. (although all are within parentheses)

Can Bulk Rename Utility remove each of these unique Parts of each file name while keeping the rest of the file the same?

If not, any suggestions? Thank you.

Remove ending text-strings like (20##.*UTC)

The safest way is with RegEx(1) having a checkmark for "v2", so then a "Match" like... \ \(20\d\d_[^)]+UTC\)$

There is also the "simple way", meaning the RegEx could be easier to understand:

RegEx(1)
put checkmark for "simple"

then:
match : %1 (%2)
replace : %1

This assumes you only have ( ) where you want it removed and not in the main name.

Thank you for those comments, but I am not familiar with what you are saying.
Can you explain how I can do those things? Thx

I'm sorry - I figured this out. Just not familiar with the interface.
Is there a way to select a folder with subfolders and do the whole folder? Or do you have to do each subfolder one by one?

In Filters(12) click on "Subfolders" then select all files.
