Do you want to keep only 1 line or all the lines without filename?

You copied this from a Linux/Unix machine into Notepad++ and you want to delete the filenames from Notepad++?

With Notepad++, if you want to delete filenames from each line:
Ctrl+H
- Find what:
h+S+$
- Replace with:
LEAVE EMPTY
- check Wrap around
- check Regular expression
- Replace all
Explanation:
h+ # 1 or more horizontal spaces
S+ # 1 or more non space characters
$ # end of line
Result for given example:
-rw-rw-r-- 1 pstambia pstambia 131721 Apr 9 2018
-rw-rw-r-- 1 pstambia pstambia 122364 Nov 28 22:56
-rw-rw-r-- 1 pstambia pstambia 137893 Apr 9 2018
-rw-r--r-- 1 pstambia pstambia 120692 Oct 29 09:36
-rw-r--r-- 1 pstambia pstambia 118732 Oct 29 09:36
This approach works but take care if you clickReplace All
more than once because it would keep removing the last column. To avoid this you can replace the Find what: withDPT.*.deliv$
