Solved-How to bulk rename IMG files in Windows

I’m trying to organize my family’s media library, and I’m trying to take filenames such as IMG02003932(23421–2345) and get it just down to the numbers in the middle.

foreach($image in $images){

    $newnname = $image.name -replace "IMG",""
    Rename-Item -Path $image.fullname -NewName $newnname -Force

}
