Demystify Title Column in SharePoint 2010 List/MOSS

When you create a new SP List, you see a default Title column. If you try to delete this column, you don't see the option to delete when you goto List Settings->Columns. Have you wondered why you cannot delete this column?

The answer is because when you create a custom list, it is created with "Item" content type. This "Item" content type has 1 field and it is required field.

How do you delete the Title column?

Goto List Settings->Advanced Setting -> Choose Manage Content Types.

Then, from List Settings-> Click Item Content Type and there you will get the optional to make changes to Title column!
