Yes, it is possible. Even, there are two ways to achieve it using regular expressions. Just search for ".*? - " or "[^-]*- " and replace it with nothing.

The first means -- the shortest repetition (*?) of anything (.) followed by " - ".

The second means -- the longest repetition (*) of anything but "-" ([^-]) followed by "- ".

The most parts of regular expression, can be `clicked' from the menu to the right of the `search for' field.
