You need to remove it from the template, that's it. – Jacob Peattie Commented Nov 12, 2018 at 11:40

You can add the following function in the functions.php of your child theme.

add_filter('get_the_archive_title', 'my_get_the_archive_title' );
function my_get_the_archive_title( $title ) {
    if ( is_category() ) {
        $title = single_cat_title( '', false );
    } elseif ( is_tag() ) {
        $title = single_tag_title( '', false );
    } elseif ( is_author() ) {
        $title = '<span class="vcard">' . get_the_author() . '</span>' ;
    }

    return $title;
}

Basically I'm adding this code in my theme's / child theme's function.php

add_filter('get_the_archive_title', 'my_get_the_archive_title' );
function my_get_the_archive_title( $title ) {
    return '';
};

And voilà it's gone, completely, forever!! Just the way I want it!
