Highlight all books needing renamed (test on 3 or 4 books first)
open edit metadata window
click on the Search and replace tab
set search mode to Regular expression
Search field: title
search for: (\(\d+\)\s)
Replace field: empty
Destination field: title

Verify test text and the test result columns show what you expect then click OK.
