  Hi! Add something of your own to the sidebar, save it, then the other default widgets will go away. If for some reason they don’t, you can simply drag any unwanted widgets away from the sidebar and deposit them either in the available widgets area or in the inactive widgets area.

  Go to Appearance>Widgets in your dashboard.

  As mmadfan said: if the sidebar is empty, it means you are using the theme’s default widgets. You need to add a widget (even an empty text widget) for the default theme’s widgets to go away.

  If it’s still not clear for you, please read the following article.
