Use the os.rename() function to rename the files of the specified directory. The os.rename() function takes path of the source and destination files.
call the method to strip the first letter of all file names in the directory.

Step 2

Program:

import os

def strip_first_letter():

print('Enter full path of a directory? ')

directory = input()

try:

for each_file in os.listdir(directory):

new_filename = each_file[1:]

src = directory + "\\" + each_file

dst = directory + "\\" + new_filename

os.rename(src, dst)

print("Done")
