    It sounds like you're looking to customize the widget sections on your home page by removing block usage. The exact steps to achieve this depend on the platform or system you're using for your website. I'll provide you with some general guidance, but keep in mind that the details may vary based on your specific setup.

    Here are some general steps you can follow:

    Access the Website Customization Options:

    Log in to your website's admin panel or dashboard.
    Look for a section related to customization, appearance, or widgets.
    Locate the Home Page Widget Sections:

    Find the section or settings related to the home page widgets.
    Edit or Remove Widgets:

    Within the customization options, you should see a list of widgets or blocks assigned to your home page.
    Look for the specific widget or block that you want to remove.
    There should be an option to edit or remove each widget. Use this option to make changes.
    Save Changes:

    After removing the unwanted widgets, be sure to save your changes.
    If your website is built on a specific platform like WordPress, Shopify, or another content management system, the steps may vary. Here are more specific instructions for a couple of popular platforms:

    WordPress:

    Log in to your WordPress admin panel.
    Go to "Appearance" and then "Widgets."
    Find the widget area for your home page.
    Remove or rearrange the widgets as needed.
    Shopify:

    Log in to your Shopify admin.
    Go to "Online Store" and then "Themes."
    Click on "Customize" for your active theme.
    Look for sections related to your home page and adjust the widgets or blocks.
    If your website is not on WordPress or Shopify, and you can provide more details about the platform or system you're using, I can offer more targeted guidance.
