Exact search in Windows 10 for term with parentheses

1

I wish to remove specific duplicate files that for some reason appeared on my system. I know I might be able to do that with shell, but I'm not familiar with it and don't have much need for it other than in this specific occasion.

What I want to do is search for all filenames that end with "(1)", for example:

filename (1).jpg

I tried searching for (1) with or without quotes, but for some reason it treats the parentheses as junk and gives me everything in that folder with a "1" inside. I also added a space, i.e. " (1)", but same results again.

Any trick up anyone's sleave?

You can use the program "Everything" (website). It allows you to seach for parentheses. Searching for "(1)." will work fine:
