“Untitled” item on my MacBook Pro desktop

This is just your system hard drive. You didn’t provide a name when you formatted it, and so macOS gave it a default name of Untitled.

You can rename it by right-clicking it in the Finder sidebar under the heading Devices, or by opening Disk Utility and right-clicking it there. Then simply choose Rename.

You can also hide hard drives from your desktop by going into the menu bar FinderPreferencesGeneral and unchecking Hard disks under the heading Show these items on the desktop.
