Deleting the Sidebar in the success page

Question

Hello everyone and thanks in advance for your attention ;

here is my problem :

when a customer completes a purchase, he reaches the "success page" (at the end of the cart and checkout step).

In the success page (www.mysite/checkout/onepage/success/) there is a sidebar on the right with inside some informations (completed orders). I would like to delete the sidebar or at least the content inside it but I can not find the xml file where i should do this ... I have tried in local.xml (in my theme folder) and checkout.xml (in the base folder).

If you want and if i can i will post the code and / or the address of the website.

Here my local.xml :

Magento is provide to move a block from layout using tag <remove name="blockname" />

As you said you want remove right content aea from the you can do this add below code in layout file

<checkout_onepage_success>
   <reference name="root">
    <remove name="right" />
</reference>
</checkout_onepage_success>

Alternative: set success page layout to 1column

using below code at layout file

    <reference name="root">
        <action method="setTemplate"><template>page/1column.phtml</template></action>
    </reference>

</checkout_onepage_success>

It is the better solution

hello Amit, thanks for your answer. As you can see from previous comments exchanged, i have not been able to solve the problem. It would seem that the "success page" does not refer to "local.xml" nor to "checkout.xml." ( or maybe I'm wrong something else) . Do you know how I could find the right xml file to edit?

See Remove Right side bar from continue shopping page

In local.xml

You could do

 <?xml version="1.0"?>
 <layout version="0.1.0">
    <checkout_onepage_success>
        <reference name="root">
            <action method="unsetChild"><name>right</name></action>
        </reference>
    </checkout_onepage_success>
 </layout>

or

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<layout version="0.1.0">
    <checkout_onepage_success>
        <reference name="root">
            <remove name="right"/>
        </reference>
    </checkout_onepage_success>
</layout>

But it may be better to change the template using

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<layout version="0.1.0">
    <checkout_onepage_success>
        <label>One Page Checkout Success</label>
        <reference name="root">
            <action method="setTemplate"><template>page/2columns-right.phtml</template></action>
        </reference>
        <reference name="content">
            <block type="checkout/onepage_success" name="checkout.success" template="checkout/success.phtml"/>
        </reference>
    </checkout_onepage_success>
</layout>

Thanks both of you for your answers; I tried all the solutions you proposed but unfortunately none of them worked. In fact it is as if they had no effect, I think I'm editing the wrong file but I do not know wich other one i should edit besides local.xml or checkout.xml... any ideas ?

Edit local.xml is the better option

Its been 3 years of this question but I had the similar kind of issue. The code which did the tweak is below:

In theme/layout/checkout.xml, find

<checkout_onepage_success translate="label">
        <label>One Page Checkout Success</label>
        <reference name="root">
            <action method="setTemplate"><template>page/2columns-right.phtml</template></action>
        </reference>
        <reference name="content">
            <block type="checkout/onepage_success" name="checkout.success" template="checkout/success.phtml"/>
        </reference>
    </checkout_onepage_success>

And replace with:

<checkout_onepage_success translate="label">
        <label>One Page Checkout Success</label>
        <remove name="right"/>
        <remove name="left"/>
        <reference name="root">
            <action method="setTemplate"><template>page/1column.phtml</template></action>
        </reference>
        <reference name="content">
            <block type="checkout/onepage_success" name="checkout.success" template="checkout/success.phtml"/>
        </reference>
    </checkout_onepage_success>

Have you tried changing this in the checkout.xml? If you are using a checkout extension, you may have to check their layout files, its possible that their settings are overriding the default settings.

Here is what i'm seeing around line 479.

<checkout_onepage_success translate="label">
   <label>One Page Checkout Success</label>
   <reference name="root">
       <action method="setTemplate"><template>page/2columns-right.phtml</template></action>
   </reference>
   <reference name="content">
        <block type="checkout/onepage_success" name="checkout.success" template="checkout/success.phtml"/>
   </reference>
</checkout_onepage_success>

change reference name="root" to:

<reference name="root">
    <action method="setTemplate">
       <template>page/1column.phtml</template>
    </action>
</reference>
