   It can't be removed.
   MachForm needs it to prevent your users overwriting the same file name.

   So if user A uploads Sunset.jpg and user B uploads another file with the same name Sunset.jpg, it won't overwrite the other file.

   However, those prefix are automatically removed when you download those files.

   Ok, If you are fine with the above potential problem and really need it. You will need to modify two files.

   1) includes/post-functions.php

   search around line 876-881, you'll find this code:

   //move file and check for invalid file
   $destination_file = DATA_DIR."/form_{$form_id}/files/{$element_name}-{$record_insert_id}-{$_FILES[$element_name]['name']}";
   if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES[$element_name]['tmp_name'], $destination_file)) {
   	$query = "update ap_form_{$form_id} set $element_name='{$element_name}-{$record_insert_id}-{$_FILES[$element_name]['name']}' where id='$record_insert_id'";
   	do_query($query);
   }

   
   replace it with this one:

   //move file and check for invalid file
   $destination_file = DATA_DIR."/form_{$form_id}/files/{$_FILES[$element_name]['name']}";
   if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES[$element_name]['tmp_name'], $destination_file)) {
   	$query = "update ap_form_{$form_id} set $element_name='{$_FILES[$element_name]['name']}' where id='$record_insert_id'";
   	do_query($query);
   }

   2) download.php

   search around line 32 - 34 for this code:

   //remove the element_x-xx- suffix we added to all uploaded files
   $file_1 	   =  substr($filename_only,strpos($filename_only,'-')+1);
   $filename_only = substr($file_1,strpos($file_1,'-')+1);

   
   remove the code above.

   That should do it.
