I just discovered a new meta field on the newly created custom post type page. The meta name is slug, and it's under the wp editor field. What's that, and how can I remove it?

You can remove the slug metabox from a post type with remove_meta_box:
add_action( 'add_meta_boxes', 'my_add_meta_boxes' );
function my_add_meta_boxes() {
remove_meta_box( 'slugdiv', 'my_post_type', 'normal' );
}

2Thanks, but why does it have a new metabox? I also can edit the url under the title, whats the difference?– RinoletiMar 13, 2013 at 20:25

Be warned that this seems to break the slug editing functionality under the post title. core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/18523– MarcGuayJan 5, 2017 at 15:25
on the top right of the page where you edit your post or page you will see two buttons: [Screen options] and [Help]. Click on [screen options]. You will see all kinds of options, unmark the one labeled "Slug" and it will disappear from the post/page edit page.
If you want to know what that was: http://codex.wordpress.org/Glossary#Post_Slug
Hope that helps
