Batch script to rename folder to a new name and increment new name

问题

I'm a novice at batch sripting. I've been using Robocopy in a batch file (that calls a PowerShell script) to do various tasks that have made work life much more efficient. Now I need to rename a folder with a different name and increment that different name by 1 for each time the batch script is executed. Spacing is important because I have software that will not read the path if it is underscored between the naming.

C:\Users\Desktop\Source\

What exists in this path is a folder sequence like this:

  Folders Now
  Folders Now Previous 1
  Folders Now Previous 2

I've been trying to find a batch script that will rename Folders Now to Folders Now Previous 'next increment', but I've had no luck. I've tried various scripts that I've found and they work to a certain degree, but none of them do exactly this. Spacing between the naming is important (there can't be Folders_Now_Previous_3), and that's where the other scripts fail.

I've been using a batch script that will look at the highest last number and increment that name by 1. That works, but the naming parameter (source name and new name) aka set "baseName= are the same and they need to be different, and it also involves underscores and that's a no-go for the legacy software.

EDIT: I've been using this script from an older post in this forum:

    @echo off
    setlocal enableDelayedExpansion
    set "baseName=Folders_Now_Previous_"
    set "n=0"
    for /f "delims=" %%F in (
      '2^>nul dir /b /ad "%baseName%*."^|findstr /xri "%baseName%[0-9]*"'
    ) do (
      set "name=%%F"
      set "name=!name:*%baseName%=!"
      if !name! gtr !n! set "n=!name!"
    )
    set /a n+=1
    md "%baseName%%n%"

When this script is executed, it returns this:

  Folders_Now_Previous_1
  Folders_Now_Previous_2
  Folders_Now_Previous_3

What I've been trying to do is modify it so that the output doesn't contain underscores. It should output this:

  Folders Now Previous 1
  Folders Now Previous 2
  Folders Now Previous 3

My attempts at modifying it will work the first time but it will stop working after the first folder is renamed.
