 You cannot hide/toggle visibility of widgets. To stop one from showing on
 your site, you have to delete it which loses the widgets' content and
 settings. Surely this has been brought up before but I couldn't find a
 ticket. You can change posts' visibility without permanent deletion, why
 not widgets'? It seems like a large oversight.
