First , let me explain my situation , I have been scraping images from a website to a local folder, I used OpenCV to apply pre-processing on said images and produced the processed images with exactly the same names in a different folder , The OpenCV script has failed towards the end and skipped a very small number of images , now I want to clean those images up from the scrapped images folder to have a 1:1 matching between the two .
Second , I tried using diff
and reading about other questions but they all seem to be interested in comparing the files themselves , not just the names , of course I know that the files are different themselves , that's why I am only interested in comparing their names .
So is there a way to do this ?
EDIT: I am NOT interested in comparing the file contents , only their names , so solutions interested in comparing two copies won't work for me .

@KamilMaciorowski that question is comparing two copies , aka it is interested in the contents of the files , I , however , am not .– SongBirdSep 3, 2018 at 9:31

At least two answers ignore contents.– Kamil MaciorowskiSep 3, 2018 at 9:34

@KamilMaciorowski Yes , I think you are right , I wasn't looking on the lower answers , however I think the question should remain to make it easier for searching later ? What do you think ? you know , instead of having the answer ambiguously hiding in the lower answers of a slightly different question.– SongBirdSep 3, 2018 at 9:40

Automated cleanup process is described here. If I get it right, question closed as a duplicate will survive at least 365 days, unless it's downvoted.– Kamil MaciorowskiSep 3, 2018 at 9:52
