Little change in PY script Octane

Question

I want to ask if someone could help me with Octane plugin. There is conversion plugin changing material from Cycles Mat to Octane Mat but problem is that instead of changing nodes it creates new material with .001 so in scene where I have right now about 400 materials and 20 instances in different buildings extend a lot conversion process. If someone would help me with that I will be very grateful. If may ask to avoid deleting other textures(right now its leaving only color map and delete other maps) that it would change whole texture nodes do Octane ones and leave disconnected I will be even more grateful.

Thank you for all your support.

Remove as Orphans?

If octane materials are orphans, ie have no users as indicated by 0 in materials menu then remove them using outliner in "Orphan Data" mode

How can I remove all unused materials from a .blend file?

Delete all materials that aren't assigned to a face?

Only materials with numeric suffix

If octane materials are the only ones with the suffix

import bpy
copy_mats = [m for m in bpy.data.materials
        if m.name[-3:].isnumeric()]

while copy_mats:
    bpy.data.materials.remove(copy_mats.pop())

How to merge around 300+ duplicate materials?

Edit Script and tag as "Octane" material.

The script posted has the definition of convert_to_octane_material(cur_material, converted_material) method but not the call.

If that method is slightly altered to tag a converted material as being for Octane

def convert_to_octane_material(cur_material, converted_material):
    if not cur_material or not cur_material.node_tree:
        return    
    if not converted_material or not converted_material.node_tree:
        return
    converted_material["octane"] = True #<== This line inserted
    cur_node_tree = cur_material.node_tree
    ...

can remove all later by looking for that key.

import bpy
octane_mats = [m for m in bpy.data.materials
        if m.get("octane", False)]

while octane_mats:
    bpy.data.materials.remove(octane_mats.pop())
