Rename all directories begining with "video - "

[mainemojo]

I have a directory with sub-directories. Some of the sub-directories I want to rename begin with "video - ". An example would be "video - Excel 2016 formulas". I would like to remove and rename the example to "Excel 2016 formulas". The 'v' in videos may or may not be upper case. I both instances, I want it removed.

What I have so far is:

find . -type d -iname "video - *"

I know I need a '-exec rm', but I don't know the specifics. Or should I be using 'rename'?

You certainly do not need a '-exec rm' - that will remove (delete) the files

[mainemojo]

So if I use a '-exec mv', then what?

Would the proper way be:

for f in *; do mv '$f" "${f#video - }";done

or

rename -v 'x/video - //' *

gprename is available for install thru package manager or in terminal sudo apt-get install gprename
It should easily rename those folders from GUI
Can be run from terminal gprename
Takes a bit of getting used to, but not that hard at all from what I remember when I used it

navigate to folder containing subfolders
As eg... video - Excel 2016 formulas, including the spaces you need the first 8 characters removed
Under insert/delete you can have it delete between 0 and 8....
Then click Rename, not sure if Preview always works
You may want to backup first just to be on safe side till you are use to the utility

Edit-- sorry, just realized you said you have other folders that start with different names in that directory
In that case the Replace/remove option might be better
Replace video -
with kept left blank then click on Preview, if everything looks good click Rename... It does have an undo feature
