3) Go to Style -> Title -> Chart title.
4) Remove the Chart title value.
5) Change the report type back to list and save the report.

Additional Information

This information is applicable for list report type only:

Usually list reports do not allow the ability to add chart title. The likely cause of it having chart title is due to the report having been initially created as another type (i.e. bar type) where the chart title was set and then made it to list type after (chart title would still be populated as that won't be cleared out automatically when the report type changes).

For any other report types they might have chart title set due to the report records having gone through an insert (or insert and stay) process.
