Directory.GetFiles: how to get only filename, not full path? [duplicate]

You can use System.IO.Path.GetFileName to do this.

E.g.,

string[] files = Directory.GetFiles(dir);
foreach(string file in files)
    Console.WriteLine(Path.GetFileName(file));

While you could use FileInfo, it is much more heavyweight than the approach you are already using (just retrieving file paths). So I would suggest you stick with GetFiles unless you need the additional functionality of the FileInfo class.
