Youc can use Path.GetFileName(string path) (or also Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(string path)) to get only the filename part from a given path string.

string[] filePaths = Directory.GetFiles(folderPath, "*.txt");
foreach (string file in filePaths)
{
    var onlyFileName = Path.GetFileName(file);

    mylist.Add(onlyFileName);
    Debug.Log(onlyFileName);
}

As alternative but maybe not the best/cleanest solution

string[] filePaths = Directory.GetFiles(folderPath, "*.txt");
foreach (string file in filePaths)
{
    // split the path into all parts on the seperators (/ or \)
    var pathParts = file.Split(Path.DirectorySeparatorChar);

    // take only the last part which should be the filename
    var onlyFileName = pathParts[pathParts.Length - 1];

    mylist.Add(onlyFileName);
    Debug.Log(onlyFileName);
}
