Remove Recently Viewed Products in RWD Theme using local.xml

Question

I am trying to remove the Recently Viewed Products from sidebar on the new RWD Theme. Please see my local.xml:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<layout>
    <default>
        <remove name="catalog.compare.sidebar"/>
        <remove name="right.reports.product.viewed"/>
    </default>
</layout>

I have managed to remove the compare sidebar but not the recently viewed. I have manage to do it on the other themes but not on the RWD. I have also checked all the xml files in the layout folder for RWD for the words viewed and reports and nothing comes back. So I get its reverting back to BASE but then if that was the case should the above xml code remove the recently viewed?

Thanks

Answer 1

I figured this out its actually

name="left.reports.product.viewed"

not the 

name="right.reports.product.viewed"

even though it is being displayed in the right column.

Try like this

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<layout>
    <default>
        <reference name="right">
            <remove name="catalog.compare.sidebar"/>
            <remove name="right.reports.product.viewed"/>
        </reference>
    </default>
</layout>

if you want to remove any of the block, then you have to specified where you want to remove right, left, content
