Hi there,
This isn’t related to a theme, as widgets work with any theme.
You can check for plugins that add or modify the Meta widget, there is probably one out there. 🙂

I found out one quick fix. It is true, it’s not related to a theme, but rather the core. In wp-dir/wp-includes/default-widgets.php find the function widget(). A few lines of code there define what is going to show in the pages in that area.
It is not a pretty solution as it’s not a good idea to change the core code, but if one needs to have a quick and dirty fix — here you go.
No! Never, ever, edit WordPress core scripts. And do not encourage others to do so. Editing core scripts can bring down your entire site and/or open security holes for hackers to use.

esmi, don’t be paranoid. this tip is not about changing functionality of the core code, it’s about deleting (commenting out) a link, i.e. < a > tag. 🙂

You should not edit WordPress core files at all. Full stop. It is invariably not necessary.

tell me about a “legal” way to disable/delete unnecessary links in the Meta area?
By creating your own meta widget as an extension of the native one using a child theme or installing a suitable plugin.
