  Ok, this may be a stupid question, but I can’t for the life of me remove widgets from my sidebar. For I didn’t know what they are “about”, I dragged them all onto my sidebar, just to have a look at them, now I am stuck with them. Can somebody give me a clue?
  Thanks

  Under dashboard > presentation > widgets, drag the ones you do not want from the “sidebar” panel back down to the “available widgets area and when done, click “save changes.”

  There are/were reports from other bloggers that they too cannot move, or remove widgets from their sidebar https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic.php?id=16096&page&replies=17 but the problem seemed to have been resolve. Staff does monitor the forum and I’m sure they will look into it for you as soon as then can.

  What is a widget? [screencast]

  The above link has the info to remove a widget. It works wen you drag a widget to the bottom left corner of the ‘Available Widgets’ box.
