NEVER delete/remove the title property! It is used internally and
is a reserved word. (That is why there is not Delete option). If you
find it annoying, to have it on your forms and lists, you could not
display it. and you could create customized edit/new forms that
do not display it, or simply rename it and use it for some other
attribute
(note the internal name will still be title)
Here is just one of many posts on the topic

In that case.....
Can I automatically pre-populate the title from the name field?
(my issue is that many documents have the wrong name in its title so
when a user does a search it search the results look in the title a
retrieve data that no accurate)

In that case, I think you may find this tool comes handy. SharePoint
Document Auto Title, which I think does not useful though.
