for root, subdirs, files in os.walk(rootdir):

Removes date prefixes from files in the current directory and of all sub-directories. If you checked this option in Adobe Lightroom on accident or just want to get rid of the date prefix (e.g. 20150101-IMG_00001.JPG to IMG_00001.JPG), then this script might be useful to you.
