\definecolor{wine-stain}{rgb}{0.5,0,0}
\hypersetup{

}
%\hypersetup{
 %   colorlinks,
  %  citecolor=blue,
   % filecolor=blue,
    %linkcolor=blue,
%    urlcolor=blue

\begin{document}
{\centering{
        {\huge\textbf{Title} \
        \vspace{20pt}
        {\large Author} \
        \vspace{20pt}
        \Large Subtitle \
        \vspace{5pt}
        {\small Date}
        \vspace{5pt}
        \hrule
        \vspace{30pt}}}}
    \tableofcontents
    \addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Abstract}
    \section*{Abstract}
    \end{document}

Does this answer your question? How to remove the self-reference of the ToC from the ToC? — José Carlos Santos, Nov 21 '20 at 09:14
@JoséCarlosSantos all the examples of your link use memoir while I would like to use article — HelpNeederStudent, Nov 21 '20 at 09:53
Your supposedly minimal working example did not mention any class (thereby it is not “working”, and I suppose that you will agree that it is not “minimal” either). — José Carlos Santos, Nov 21 '20 at 09:59
Sorry @JoséCarlosSantos I forgot to include in the code \documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article} but now I have modified it . — HelpNeederStudent, Nov 21 '20 at 10:55

You need to change

\usepackage{tocbibind}

to

\usepackage[nottoc]{tocbibind}

The purpose of the tocbibind package is to allow the inclusion of ToC, the Bibliography, and the Index in -- you guessed it -- the table of contents.

Take a look at the user guide of the tocbibind package to familiarize yourself with the package's user options -- one of which is nottoc.
