How to remove extensions from name when looking in a FOR loop

To remove the extension:

filename_without_ext="${file%.*}"

It means, remove shortest suffix that begins with a dot.

Then check if the archive exists with something like

if [ -e "$dir/$filename_without_ext.tar.bz2" ]; then

I'm not entirely how it will achive safer delete, but this thing will do the trick, if you want to remove the extention, and search for tar.bz2 but beware if file name is text.something.txt will results text.tar.bz2

FILE=test.txt; echo ${FILE/.*/.tar.bz2}

there are other ways to reach same result using Variable Substitution :

${var%pattern} Use value of var after removing text matching pattern from the right. Remove the shortest matching piece.

${var%%pattern} Same as % pattern, but remove the longest matching piece.

${var/pat/repl} Use value of var, with first match of pat re-placed with repl.

${var/pat} Use value of var, with first match of pat deleted.

if you want to do some checking before rm ,

alias rm='/usr/bin/rm -rfv'
