  Go on your blog, My DashBoard (at the top), on the right side click on Appearence, than Widgets, and under the thing saying sidebar remove the links you don’t want anymore. And that’s it.

  No that’s not it. Each theme initially displays a sample set of sidebar items. But those items are artificially generated from the theme’s underlying files, not actual widgets. So you cannot find them in Appearance>Widgets and literally remove them: you cancel them by adding the widgets you really want.

  You can remove them, I’ve had different themes and I’ve always been able to.

  If there is nothing showing as in the sidebar at appearance > widgets, every widget aware theme here will show the the sample set. It’s the way it is.
