Hi I'm currently unable to turn off widgets on a fresh install of hotaru on a local XAMPP installation. The only plugins currently installed are Bookmarking, Widgets and Post Widgets
I know this is not a hotaru issue since it works fine on my hosting, i guess maybe something is wrong with my local environment

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Your widgets_functions.php is group writable, refer to your web-server error log. I had the same problem and it didn't bother me because all widgets are useful but since you wrote I decided to look into that problem today.

chmod widgets.php and widgets_functions.php to 644 and plugin directories to 755

Weird, but for some reasons all archived plugins are group writable so I always change permissions before I upload new plugins to the web... hope this helps.
