In considering my response further, another possibility occurred to me: 
You are using a notebook StyleSheet in which Title and Subtitle cells do 
not display their cell brackets at all.

In that case, you could temporarily change the Style Sheet back to a 
default style that does show those brackets, delete the cell, and then 
restore the Style Sheet you want.  Of course do this ONLY if you are 
using a saved, separate Style Sheet rather than an imported copy that 
you have modified.
