"(I think you can re-arrange the default set of widgets.)"
should say:
"(I think you can ~~~~NOT~~~~ re-arrange the default set of widgets.)

sorry for the typo, but I may not have been clear at any rate;
if others read this thread, perhaps it won't be confusing.

But those items are artificially generated from the theme's undelying files, not actual widgets. So you cannot find them in Appearance>Widgets and literally remove them: you cancel them by adding the widgets you really want. And if the theme has more than one sidebars, you need to do this for each sidebar in turn.

To get rid of the Meta in your right sidebar, you need to add widgets in the "Secondary - Shared" box.

And you'll probably need to rethink what you've added where in general:

"Secondary - Shared" = right sidebar.
"Primary - Index" = left sidebar when you view the home page or category/archive pages.
"Primary - Post" = left sidebar when you view an individual post or static page.

I'm not sure of this—my test blog has undergone so many changes—but I suspect that the meta widget is part of the default set of widgets for your theme. Add any other widget. Then the default set will disappear. Then you will be able to add and arrange any widgets of your choice.

(I think you can re-arrange the default set of widgets.)
