Using wordpress and a custom theme, I need help removing the right recent posts 'sidebar" that appears on the post. I have no need for them and it takes up space.

I have found a plugin that eliminated everything else (category, archives, comments, etc), but not the recent post. This theme requires that I use about 4 posts instead of a pages in a special location.

Is there a simple setting I'm missing or perhaps, some kind of c-panel item to delete this item?

Thanks in advance,

Cliff
