Delete all files that have same name as a .jpg recursively

Question

I want to create a small batch script for my " Send to " menu that deletes certain files:

I have a lot of files named in this convention: foo.xxx, foo.jpg, bar.xxx and bar.jpg . I want to delete .xxx files where there is a corresponding .jpg file recursively for all nested folders below the level from where I call this script.

Based on this post I came up with the following:

@ echo off
pushd "%~1"
for /R %%f in (*.jpg) do echo "%%f"

This at least lists the .jpg files it seems but I get an error message that reads like this:

"UNC-Pfade werden nicht unterstützt. Stattdessen wird das Windows-Verzeichnis als aktuelles Verzeichnis gesetzt."

I found a post which shows how to delete files recursively but I do not really understand how to combine the two solutions to delete only those .xxx files for which I found a .jpg . Furthermore it would be nice if there where some sanity check that checks if there really is a .xxx file with the current name, sometimes there are .jpg files in these folders that have no corresponding .xxx file.

It seems I can remove by file extension like this:

@ echo off
pushd "%~1"
for /R %%f in (*.jpg) do echo "%%~nf"

But now I have no complete path to delete the wanted files? Is this correct so far? Thank you in advance!
