  It seems like you’ve already removed the content in question, as I cannot find the mentioned widgets.

  To create new Pages and Posts, you can go here:

  If I’ve misunderstood the issue, or if you have any other questions, please let me know.

  Thank you for the response.

  I am still getting Recent Posts, Most Used Categories, and archives showing up on 404 pages. They are not showing up on other pages in the site.

  I am not sure how to edit the 404 page and the content.

  Thanks so much for any help and insight!

  Your site’s 404 page is using a different template that includes several, preset widgets.

  These widget settings will not correspond to the Appearance > Widgets settings in your Dashboard, and cannot be changed on WordPress.com.

  As this is a page that most users will not see, it should not affect the general appearance/functioning of your site.

  If this is not satisfactory, you can move your site to a self-hosted, WordPress.org instance, where you will have the ability to modify this template.

  If this is an avenue you’d like to pursue, please let me know, and I will forward the relevant information.
