@George_1 

why that section doesn't have name?

if somehow name got deleted or is empty then only option is to use DOM manipulation in onLoad client script

Note: DOM is not recommended and you will have to ensure "Isolate Script" field on your client script = False for DOM to run

hi @George_1  ,

Yes, it's possible without deleting the sys_ui_form_section record.

Go to Configure → Form Layout

Select the appropriate view and remove the section from that view.
