@kyleparsons4842  - The best way to do it is to avoid adding the prefix in the first place. Uncheck the following box at the bottom:

I hope this helps. If it does, please Mark as a solution.
I also appreciate Kudos.

With many options there are lots of details to miss.

For instance, I'd never realized that the description of that checkbox was incorrect until now. 😀
