How to: Remove Meta Widget in The Erudite theme

I looked hi and low for this answer and could not find it on the internet. So after discovering the method of removing the meta widget in the Erudite theme without effecting the look of the search bar: how it looks perfect with the button to the right of the search box and not underneath the search box.
Very easy.

in Dashboard, go to Appearence >>> Editor >>> Sidebar.php

toward then bottom of the file, you will see

<li id="meta">
<h3><?php _e( 'Meta*', 'erudite' ) ?></h3>
<ul>
<?php wp_register() ?>
<li><?php wp_loginout() ?></li>
<?php wp_meta() ?>

NOW All you have to do it add forward slashes //

HERE like so….

<li id="meta">
<h3><?php _e( 'Meta*', 'erudite' ) ?></h3>
<ul>
<?php// wp_register() ?>
<li><?php// wp_loginout() ?></li>
<?php// wp_meta() ?>

……I left it in in order to manipulate the area, instead of removing the widget function all together.

Hope this helps
