problems:
You post test.cmd
this suggests you refer to a batchfile.
Then you post code, not for a batchfile but for commandline.
Then you post a supposed result of your code that can not be the result of the code you posted.
The code you posted with the file "jupe tututeen.mkv" will result in an attempt to delete the file "jupe tututeen.mp4.mkv".
This delete will fail because this file does not exist.

Ok, I see what i have missed in your code.
You are using the "delims=." as an unreliable method to split the filename and the extension.
The dir selects the file "jupe tututeen.mp4".
The if exist might work but only if "jupe tututeen" exists as file or directory.
The del will fail because of the space in the filename.
Try

The dir shows your code is doing what you tell it to do.
There is no file or directory with the name "jupe tututeen" (filename without extension).
So the if returns false and the del is skipped.
