You should delete the rental property, but make a note of the cost of the house and assets along with accumulated depreciation numbers, as you'll need them in the future if you sell the property or rent it out again.
You can deduct the property taxes as an itemized deduction, but it will only benefit you if you have enough in itemized deductions so that they are more than your standard deduction.
