Simply deleting a file from your theme is really going to screw up the theme. To change things, you need to go into the files, find the relevant pieces of code you don’t want, and remove them. You’ll need to know HTML and CSS, and possibly some PHP.
You would probably need to remove pieces of header.php (but definitely not the whole thing) and sidebar.php (again, not the whole thing), I would guess from what you wrote.
If you’ve got major changes you want to make, you may want to look around at all the many, many free themes that are available.

Some CSS help: CSS reference.
Check out the “padding” and “margin” stuff. If this is new to you, then click on “margin” and look for the “Do it yourself demo.” Then, at the END of your style.css file, put something like this:
div#main{margin:10em;}
But fiddle with using margin or padding, and with different measurements, until you find what you like.
Although, before you go any further… make a habit to check that you do have a whole html page:
