Why not filter out the files that you don't need to rename?
Summat like:

(Get-ChildItem -Path "path\to\folder" -Recurse | Where-Object {$_.Name -contains '•'} | Rename-Item -NewName {$_.Name -replace '•',''} -verbose -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -ErrorVariable daError)

@Pete-S Using a bullet point in a damn folder or file name is not at all normal!

Just discovered that someone on this forum was sending us files with bullet points in their names. But they are printable in our systems and cause no issues.

What file system are you using, some of the bullet points I've found are for actually creating the blip noises on archaic systems.

Don't know, our storage is a cloud platform.
