In Magento 2, you can remove Compare products and Wishlist from sidebar blocks of Category Page through xml. You can remove it by adding a default.xml file to your theme in: theme_dir/Magento_Catalog/layout/default.xml

And add below XML

<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
 <body>
    <referenceBlock name="catalog.compare.sidebar" remove="true"/>
    <referenceBlock name="sidebar.additional" remove="true"/>
 </body>
</page>

You can create new deafult.xml in your custom module and write below code to remove recent order block from Left sidebar 

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="../../../../../../../../htdocs/lib/internal/Magento/Framework/View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    <body>
     <referenceContainer name="sidebar.additional">
         <referenceBlock name="catalog.compare.sidebar" remove="true"/>
         <referenceBlock name="wishlist_sidebar" remove="true"/>
     </referenceContainer>
    </body>
</page>

The code works fine in Magento 2.1.1.

With little changes :

instead referenceBlock replace with referenceContainer

<referenceContainer name="block.name.wantoberemoved" remove="true"/>

What worked for me, even via admin "Layout XML Update" field, was the code 

<referenceContainer name="sidebar.additional" remove="true" />

A quick note for Enterprise users: you may need to remove the "multiple wishlist" block as well:

<referenceBlock name="multiple-wishlist_sidebar" remove="true" />
