Removing the DirectoryName from FileName

[sbisin]

Hello,

I have many hundreds of folders containing files that have filename containing at the beginning the name of the directory containing the files such as

- DirectoryName/DirectoryName - 01.jpg
- DirectoryName/DirectoryName - ABC.avi
- DirectoryName/DirectoryName - A1Z.mp4
..

how can I remove the initial part "DirectoryName" of the filename so that the files in the example are renamed in

- DirectoryName/01.jpg
- DirectoryName/ABC.avi
- DirectoryName/A1Z.mp4
..

NB: also the "Directory Name" contains always the " - " substring, just to make easier the task..

Thanks in advance
Steve
