Go to

Admin -> Content -> Pages -> Edit CMS page (which you want to update) -> Design -> Layout Update XML

And then, post this below code in that field

<referenceContainer name="content.top">
   <referenceBlock name="form.popup.subscribe" remove="true"/>
</referenceContainer>

You can set name of referenceContainer and referenceBlock name which you want to remove.

Hope, It will helpful for you !!

From Layout file:

Goto app/design/frontend/[VendorTheme]/[ThemeName]/Magento_Cms/layout/cms_index_index.xml and add below code. BlockName will be the name of block which you want to delete.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
  <body>
   <!-- add this code for remove block -->
   <referenceBlock name="BlockName" remove="true"/>
 </body>
 </page>

Into the CMS home page, Design -> Layout Update XML 

<referenceBlock name="BlockName" remove="true"/>

save the cms page and clear the cache.

without xml you want to hide them using css display none.

create below file

app/design/frontend/name/example/Magento_CMS/layout/cms_index_index.xml

<referenceBlock name="block_name" remove="true"/>

add below code and add your static block_name Example:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page layout="1column" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="../../../../../../../lib/internal/Magento/Framework/View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    <body>
        <referenceBlock name="block_name" remove="true"/>
    </body>
</page>

It would be best if you put the following code:

<referenceBlock name="block_name" remove="true"/>

in the Design >> Layout Update XML section of your CMS Home page in the admin panel.

After that, you just need to flush Magento's cache.

Since Magento provides to update the layout of CMS pages from the backend, there is no need to do it using the layout files.

Update: widget xml generated on save widget

I hope it is clear.

  • @Arjun, you are right. I noticed your point now. This is happening because while adding a widget to the pages, Magento generates the block name dynamically.

  • When we try to print the generated XML after saving the widget instance, we get the block name as a random string. Please check the screenshot in my answer's update.
