Do you just want to delete the information from the filename or do you want to store it first in the matching fields in your tracks?

Convert -\> Filename - Tag  
`%track% - %artist% - %title%`  
for  
002 - 2IT - Μη Ρωτάς.mp3

or  
`%track%. %artist% - %title%`  
for  
002. 2IT - Μη Ρωτάς.mp3

If you already have this information in your fields, you can use  
Convert -\> Tag - Filename  
with something like this as Format string:  
`%title%`  
or  
`%track% - %title%`  
or any other combination you want to see for your new filename.

The advantage of using the Convert function is that you can instantly preview the result.
