You want to uninstall it?

In general, you can't uninstall most Windows components. Whether you
can uninstall the sidebar, I don't know.

I can't imagine that it takes a significant amount of disk space. If
that amount is important to you, you clearly have a drive that is
considerably too small for your purposes. Anything you do like this to
get rid of small pieces of the operating system, besides being
dangerous, would only be a stopgap measure in addressing your issue.
It sounds like your real solution is buying more disk space.
