What are the best methods to remove batch numbers Mac music files?


I read an article about removing Batch Numbers, from my Macbook Pro M1 Music, and it worked fantastic, THANK YOU ..you saved me hours of unnecessary work....and because of this......

I removed all digits up to #9 and it looks much better....EXCEPT ....that I still have an empty space at the start of each Title, which creates a spelling error, when reading the list, allocating that song in an incorrect Alphabetical order.

I presume this will effect the locating and playing of those songs, and locating duplications as they will be showed as another Song because of the empty space effecting the correct identification of it.

I have experienced this myself before, after I manually eliminated that empty space just before the Song title, and the Song disappeared to another location and set itself in the correct Alphabetical order next to an identical song, and I had a double of that song I would never have found.

I followed the same steps again recommended to remove the Track Numbers, but now I used space, -space, and +space but none of the above removed the space. I even tried using a digit + space and - space together, which did not work either.

Is there another option to remove all of these spaces.?........Thanks
