How to rename multiple file extensions to nil/no file extension at once in Windows? (lemmy.ml)

In case of renaming multiple file extensions to another, they suggested to type this command in cmd promt or powershell: ren *.(current extension name) *.(new extension name)

But what about to renaming multiple file extensions to nil or no file extension? How to replace this command *.(new extension name) ?

I have no idea what im talking about, but why not try in a folder with a couple of files writing nothing after the *. ?

there are more than 300 files in multiple folders that I need to remove the file.extension, doing it 300 times is a tad difficult.

The purpose of trying it in a folder with a few options is to perfect the command before applying it to the entire target pool.
