Simplest thing to do is:
chmod the file so you can edit it
open the sidebar.php file in the editor that's internal in wordpress
COPY AND PASTE the sidebar as it is to wordpad and save a copy on your hard drive -- this is your safety net if you break something
Examine the sidebar.php file to find the code you want to delete
Delete it
Voila. No more links.
(Hint: You can also copy and paste adsense code or other advertising code directly into the sidebar and it works quite well.)

If all you want to do is remove a few links using the control panel editing tools to change sidebar.php is probably the easiest way. (I'm assuming you don't mean the "Links" content which you can manage using the control panel),
