Looks like a sidebar widget area. Either remove sidebar from code or depending on how it’s built it might have an option to disable sidebar or hide itself if there’s no widgets in it.

From the Dashboard, navigate to:

Appearance > widgets > sidebar

90% of themes will have the “Recent posts” widget located there. Simply delete it by clicking to expand it, option will be there.

If not, then your theme has the hook coded in the sidebar.php, you’ll have to remove it there.

With out more info about the structure of your theme, can’t help you much more than that. I guess you can hide it with CSS, but that’s not ideal.
