for /f "tokens=1*delims=:" %%b in ('dir /on /b /a-d image*.png 2^|findstr /n ".*" ') do ren "%%b" "%%a.png"

As a batch line should do what you ask.

Ah - a small misread.

@ECHO OFF

SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
rem The following settings for the source directory, destination directory, target directory,
rem batch directory, filenames, output filename and temporary filename [if shown] are names
rem that I use for testing and deliberately include names which include spaces to make sure
rem that the process works using such names. These will need to be changed to suit your situation.

SET "sourcedir=u:your files w o"
SET /a newnumber=0
FOR /L %%b IN (1,1,47) DO IF EXIST "%sourcedir%image%%b.png" ECHO REN "%sourcedir%image%%b.png" "!newnumber!.png"&SET /a newnumber+=1
GOTO :eof

Proposed commands echoed for verification. Remove the echo keyword to activate following verification. Original filelist presented omits image3.png so result will be 0.png..45.png
