You have double quotes around the setting for $UploadPrefixFmt,
thus it is actually being set to '/' (and this is the reason for the
double-slashes).  The correct setting is:

    $UploadPrefixFmt = '/$Group';

which delays the determination of the group until when the attachments
are actually being loaded (and the page's true name is known).

...uploaded file history?  If you're referring to the list of files
that appears at the bottom of the upload form, it's not a history --
it's just a list of files.  To get rid of those, you just need to
remove test2.pdf and test.pdf from your uploads/ directory.
