Depending on your theme, they may be hard coded into a sidebar or footer file. If this is the case, you will need to get your hands dirty and edit your theme files.

But you can usually remove them by adding a widget, as these items often only show up when no widgets have been added. So go to Appearance -> Widgets and add the widgets that you want in the appropriate sidebar.

I found a solution, I copied the Meta Widget class code and made a new widget that doesn't have those items. – jasondavis Jan 8 '12 at 13:23

I believe those are not generated by the system so you'd have to remove it by editing the theme. If your sure it's in the footer, edit the theme's footer.php by deleting those lines where those links are. In most themes, they are usually in sidebar.php, so if you don't find the links in footer.php, check for sidebar.php.

I copied the widget class and made a new class with a different widget name that has those items I don't want removed, and it is saved in my personal library code so it will not get overwritten if I update wordpress – jasondavis Jan 8 '12 at 13:25
