Trouble trying to get rid of an old widget
-
A very long time ago I installed a ‘lava lamp clock’ widget on my blog. The widget is causing problems, so I wish to have it removed and not replaced.
On my dashboard (not the one on WordPress.com), I click on the sidebar links: Appearance|Widgets, and I no longer see arrangements as to what is placed where; all I see are widgets are anything but the lava lamp clock, in a single-column list, which no longer supports drag-and-drop.
So, how do I get rid of this widget? I can’t find it listed anywhere sensible. The Widgets page has a button at the top saying ‘Manage with live preview’, but when I click on that, all I get is a blank page with a button saying ‘Edit with Google analytics Stats’, which doesn’t do anything when I click on it.
I wish I could show you a screenshot, but this editor doesn’t appear to allow images. However, I can paste the source code for the entire web page that I was shown:
Edit widget: Google Analytics Stats Edit Add Google Analytics Stats Google Analytics Stats </div> <div class="widget-inside"> <div class="form"> <div class="widget-content">Thanks for any help you may offer.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I should add also that I work on my configuration with WordPress on an Off-site location, sj.foodsci.info, that is not amenable to using WordPress.com to manage my site, for complex reasons. The most compelling reason being that my blog is not my full-time job, it is a hobby, and configuring remote management of my blog would be more trouble than it is worth, even though I trust that the features are probably spiffy, but I am not all that concerned. I have many workarounds that make up for it.
The WordPress version I am using is 4.9.4.
