Is there any way I could make Hazel automatically rename any such folders so that their names no longer end with "_files"?

Simply put, this is what I have:

And this is what I want:

First off, please do not post questions in the tips forum. There's a sticky article at the top telling you not to do this.

As for your issue, search the help for "match patterns" or "custom tokens". Also, read some of the articles in this forum as this issue comes up a lot.
