   I have been trying to remove some default widgets both from the admin panel and my default child theme with no luck.

   For example, I added a search bar next to my main navigation through code and I would like to remove completely the "Search" widget.

   I tried to remove these lines from widgets-extensions.php:

   // Finished intializing Widgets plugin, now let's load the thematic default widgets
   
   	register_widget('THM_Widget_Search');
   	register_widget('THM_Widget_Meta');
   	register_widget('THM_Widget_RSSlinks');
   
   	// Pre-set Widgets
   	$preset_widgets = array (
   		'primary-aside'  => array( 'search-2', 'pages-2', 'categories-2', 'archives-2' ),
   		'secondary-aside'  => array( 'links-2', 'rss-links-2', 'meta-2' )
   		);

   but nothing changed.

   Any suggestion would be very much appreciated

   I have had the same problem. Used the code below in my functinos file:
   
///* Defining Widget Areas */
function remove_widget_areas($content) {
unset($content['Index Top']);
unset($content['Index Bottom']);
unset($content['Index Insert']);
unset($content['Single Top']);
unset($content['Single Bottom']);
unset($content['Single Insert']);
unset($content['Page Top']);
unset($content['Page Bottom']);
return $content; }

   add_filter('thematic_widgetized_areas', 'remove_widget_areas');


   It had absolutely no effect on the number of widgets showing in the admin area.

   Any help from the moderator would be apreciated.

   /* Defining Widget Areas */

   function remove_widget_areas($content) {
   unset($content['Primary Aside']);
   unset($content['Secondary Aside']);
   unset($content['1st Subsidiary Aside']);
   unset($content['2nd Subsidiary Aside']);
   unset($content['3rd Subsidiary Aside']);
   unset($content['Text Top']);
   unset($content['Index Insert']);
   unset($content['Index Bottom']);
   unset($content['Single Top']);
   unset($content['Single Insert']);
   unset($content['Single Bottom']);
   unset($content['Page Top']);
   unset($content['Page Bottom']);
   return $content;
   }
   add_filter('thematic_widgetized_areas', 'remove_widget_areas');

   This should remove all pesky default widgets within Thematic.

   @dave your solution is perfect for unregistering widget areas. i believe the OP from 4 months ago wanted to remove the actual widgets. in which case the first result in google reveals:

   function unregister_problem_widgets() {
   unregister_sidebar_widget('Calendar');
   unregister_sidebar_widget('Search');
   }
   add_action('widgets_init','unregister_problem_widgets');
