How to get file names from the directory, not the entire path

Question

I am using the below method to get the file names. But it returns the entire path and I don\'t want to get the entire path. I want only file names, not the entire path.

System.IO.Path is your friend here:

var filenames = from fullFilename
                in Directory.EnumerateFiles(targetdirectory,"backup-*.zip")
                select Path.GetFileName(fullFilename);

foreach (string filename in filenames)
{
    // ...
}
