 * Is there anyone who can tell me how to remove the side widgets? It is usually
   a simply move,but here there’s no way to do it as the “Sidebar Right” is already
   empty from the back-end view. Thanks.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fremoving-widgets-9%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Some themes add a set of default widgets if the sidebar is empty. (Yes, that 
   is a real pain and not helpful.) Try adding a text widget, but leave everything
   there blank.

 * Yes, thank you for the explanation: the problem is that the sidebar stays empty
   but the space is not available for the main content… I would have liked the whole
   page to be available… is it possible to do something through CSS?

 * Maybe, but ask your theme’s devs first if there’s a no-sidebar option for the
   theme. I recommend asking at [https://wordpress.org/support/theme/parallax#new-post](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/parallax#new-post)
   so the theme’s developers and support community can help you with this.

 * Thanks for your effort, but although I know that there is an area with inactive
   widgets, I don’t understand what you mean by “Simply simplified the gadget from
   the sidebar and in the Gadget area.” You know, the area called ” Sidebar Right”
   is empty and I can’t do anything with all the menus shown there in the front-
   end view.

 * I just posted the question right there, thanks.
    Thank you both.
