file title is an option present on mkvtoolnix (92.0 eyeglow on debian 12.11)

I could single open every file, remove the file title and save, but that’s gonna take ages. almost 100 files.

    If you are talking about the mkv embedded title, try this:

    find -type f -iname "*.mkv" | while read "i" ; do mkvpropedit "${i}" --edit info --set "title=" ; done

      Just to be clear, this command will simply delete all the titles from all of the MKV files in that particular directory.

        Current directory and all its subdirectories - to be exact :)

        You can execute the find command only (with arguments, so until the pipe) to verify modified files beforehand.
