This question is less to do with sed than with regular expressions (none of the answers include sed; nor could they) Also edited typos and grammar to satisfy G-Man

Using sed How to mass rename files with regular expressions

I have a bunch of folders in a directory with files in them. Most of the filenames have region codes (retropie), and the scrubber will not match roms with single letter region codes (u,j,e,etc.). I need to remove all regonregion codes. Region codes are all contained in parentheses "()(...)". Any wayIs there anyway to remove all parenthesisparentheses and the text between them.
EDIT?

For example: For example;
Files

Files are intitled

~/RetroPie/roms/<system>/

And I want to rename roms like so:

Super Mario Bros (J).nes Super Random game (J,U,E).nes

to

Super Mario Bros.nes Super Random game.nes

Hope That fixes the [on hold] tag thing.
