'Magento removing widget from layout

How can I remove widget from layout? I added category_widget_link using install script, deleted that widget from database directly (I know I shoudn't :) ) and after that in admin panel too. It still shows up. Thanks for the answers in advance.

Use xml to remove (<remove name="search correct block">)

Example go to the page or category in magento in admin part of xml scripts and place , your header of the page or category will disappear, you just find the straight-laced block name and removing it, look for the name him in the layout / folder widget.xml will be somewhere

Just in case someone need the answer for this.

I noticed that there're still some record left behind in the "widget_instance_page_layout" table.

So all we need to do is delete the record that's still left behind inside the "layout_update" table in your database after you remove the widget.
