Magento

I would like to remove compare product and recently viewed boxes.

For compare box I suppose is on template/catalog/products/compare/sidebar.phtml

-Just removing all the lines??? 

For the recently viewed products box It’s been harder to find.
Is it a matter of removing specific lines from:  layout/ reports.xml ??

No knowledge of php neither too much css.

Thanx a lot if you could confirm by deleting this lines on told files
we will be able to not show those two boxes

delete the following two lines

in layout/reports.xml (line 27)

in layout/catalog.xml (line 53)

Thanks!!! Better and quicker answer could not be possible

You also need to remove the relevant line from customer.xml.

Can be tested by clicking on My account (assuming logged in).
