I have an example here:
File="03. Rock Nuts.flac"
echo "${File##N*s}"

The result should be ”03. Rock .flac”, shouldn't it? Obviously not,
because the result is ”03. Rock Nuts.flac”, which is exactly the
original string.
So what am I missing?

Knowing little about BASH, I'm nevertheless immediately drawn to the
fact that your example is missing the space you wish in our output.

Just noticed that you're trying to pull out, "Nuts."
Sorry for the noise.
