So, first of all I'm really new to this, and I'm learning as I go. So if I give incomplete information or sound like ding-dong, advanced apologies.
Here are things as I understand them:
1. I have a sidebar
2. I have widgets that show on sidebar
3. I can edit those widgets from the menu in WordPress
This is where it goes wrong. Meta is permanently affixed to my sidebar, I can't remove it. I haven't tried deleting it, but I'm hoping there is some way to remove it without deleting it.
Thanks for any help!

when you go appearance and widgets can you drag the meta widget out of sidebar.

For some reason, it is still there... I have removed it from the sidebar and it continues to show up on my website.
it must be hard coded in your sidebar.php

That totally helped me figure it out! thanks!!!!
I recommend that you make copy of the file before you make any changes just in case you need go back to original as I am not a programmer but I think that stops you from dragging as meta is not in the that if function.
copy this code
<?php endif; ?>
and paste after
<div class="widget">
<h2>Meta</h2>
* <?php wp_register(); ?> <?php wp_loginout(); ?>
* WordPress
<?php wp_meta(); ?>
* XHTML
</div>
and update the file now try and drag it out of side bar see if it works
