What is it returning? Could you give your list of file names and desired name to turn it in to?

This, otherwise all I can think is you have files that are like
a1b2c3
b2b3c4
c3b4c5
And you want to remove the char?? Clarify please.

Sorry for the late reply.
But here is an example of a bunch of images that have a number x_ infront of the real image filename.
I'm using a SWF decompiler that somehow thinks it's a good idea to add the key of the image to the file.
So I want to bulk rename all of these, to remove the annoying characters infront of the filename.
E.g "10_hair_M_jimmy_h_std_hr_2476_0_0.png" should become "hair_M_jimmy_h_std_hr_2476_0_0.png"
And when I try to run rename '/^[0-9\_]+/' * in the folder nothing happens.
But if you take a look at the image below the regex is correct.

Take a look at the man of rename. You're not passing it the value what it needs to be changed to.
rename 's/^[0-9]\_//' *
