Widgets are in the lower half of the Notification Center. Although some widgets are quite useful, you may want to ditch others for a cleaner look. Next, explains how to remove widgets from Notification Center on Mac.
Mac users running macOS 11 Big Sur or later versions have access to the Unified Notification Center. Instead of splitting into two tabs, Notification Center is now divided into two halves. The top half shows your unread notifications (If you have any) and the bottom half shows your widgets.
To access the Notification Center, click the Time and Date button on the menu bar (next to the Control Center button). You can also swipe in from the right edge of your MacBook's trackpad with two fingers to reveal the Notification Center..
Now, if you want to quickly remove a widget, right click and choose option “Drills widget”.
The widget will be instantly removed from the Notification Center.
If you want to remove multiple widgets at the same time, it is better to enter the widget editing mode.

You can repeat this procedure until you have removed all the widgets you want. Subsequently, Click the button “Ready” to save the design.
As we said above, you can use this method to remove all widgets and get a clean looking Notification Center (as below screenshot shown).
