Use find to locate files like this way:

find . -name "* 2" -exec rm -r "{}" \;

This command will search for files and folders from where your are . with name "* 2" and delete every result -exec rm {}.

If you want to rename directories:

find . -name "* 2" -type d -exec rename 's/ 2/-copy/g' {} \;

As other command, locate only folders with name "*.2" and rename it replacing 2 with -copy.

If you don't have rename installed, you can also use

find . -name "* 2" -type d | while read dir; do
    [[ -x "${dir%% 2}" ]] || mv "$dir" "${dir%% 2}"
done

(The [[ -x part tests whether a file/folder without the " 2" already exists).
