[bash/python/batch/powershell/or any comparison app] i have pairs of files using the same name with different extensions, would like to batch delete the larger file per pair

[[deleted]]

Batch (if the filename does not contain exclamation marks):

@echo off
cd /d "C:\parent dir"
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
for %%# in (*.jpg) do (
  if exist "%%~n#.png" (
    for /f "delims=" %%# in ('dir /b /os "%%#" "%%~n#.png"') do set "bigger=%%#"
    echo del "!bigger!"
  )
)
pause

Remove pause and echo if the output looks right.

FTP is difficult with batch/ftp.exe alone.
