Delete word and space at the beginning of the line

Find: ^\w+\s(.)

Replace with: \1

^ beginning of the line
\w+ first word
\s space
(.) tag the rest of the line

\1 only include the rest of the line

Try using a regex in the Replace:

^([\w\-]+)

(There is a space at the end of this regex to include the trailing spaces).

Replace with nothing, change the Search Mode to Regular Expression..
