Assuming you are in the folder where the files are placed.
for i in *.fasta.db
do
mv $i ${i/\.fasta/} # remove "fasta" from file name
done

Thank you very much, I have another question, how can I replace the character (-) by (_) for all the files and thank you in advance. – ABDELJALIL SENHAJI RACHIK Apr 20 '20 at 13:27

add a second string substitution in the loop ```mv $newfile ${newfile/-/_}``` – flappix Apr 20 '20 at 16:22
