  You’re welcome. Also note that items you leave in “trash” will be permanently deleted after 30 days. http://en.support.wordpress.com/trash/

  I’ve answered this as though you were referring to a page or post, etc. rather than to a widget. When we click “Delete” inside any widget it simply moves back into the “Available Widgets” box. If we wish to save a text widget with special contents for future use then we drag and drop it into the “Inactive Widgets” box. Then we can pull it out whenever we choose to use it again.
