  Even though the sidebar widget area is empty from my dashboard, the published site has “recent posts”, “archives” and “categories” widget on the sidebar. How do I remove these?

  Since you don’t have any widgets in your sidebars, your theme is showing a default set of widgets. When you add widgets to a sidebar the default set of widgets will no longer be used, so what you can do is add a blank text widget if you don’t want any widgets to show.
