Yes, in the Search and Replace tab of the bulk metadata editing. You'll need to use the regular expression mode on the title field.

the search expression you'll need is something like

^[^-\d]+\d+_-_

and the replace field should be blank.

(The search expression says
^ -: match from the start of the field (well, line, but there's only one line in a title field)
[^-\d]+ : one or more characters that aren't a dash or a digit
\d+ : one or more numeric digits
_-_ : space dash space)

where the underscores are spaces. It will show you what the effect will be on the first ten titles.
