WordPress generate a dynamic robots.txt which does not physically exists. To remove/disable it you have two options:
Option 1: Remove do_robots action in your theme functions.php or plugin
remove_action('do_robots', 'do_robots');
The action do_robots is still available to be added again by other plugins.
Option 2: Create a real robots.txt file, put it the root folder of your site. This will stop WordPress (or plugins) auto generate its own.

Is robots.txt physically exists in your server? If so, as explained in the answer, removing the action won't work. Also, if you remove the action and later a plugin execute it again the robots.txt will be generated anyway. Disable all plugins and use a core theme to see if there is any plugin generating the file or go with the option 2 and create your own robots.txt in the server.– cybmetaCommented Jan 13, 2015 at 9:45
