      When I upload my roms, they have regions after them such as (Europe) and (Japan). I don't like it. I have thousands of roms - but how do I remove it off each one?

        Remove the text before uploading..or gain access to your Pi by writing \ \ retropie in Windows file explorer and edit your files from there.
        Easiest way would be to scrape the roms and they will get renamed automatically.

          You want to rename the roms to remove region, or remove the roms that are not of your region ?
          The first is basically not possible, because you can't have 2 files with the same name in the same directory :) You may batch rename them if you want, but can't simply remove the region.
          The second options is also feasible, but we would need more informations.

          Anyway, @BobHarris suggestion or scapping is the best way IMHO.
