Categories with pics--how to remove?

[mooncavecrystals]

I currently have my cart set up with side boxes on both left and right. I also have my categories set up in the middle, 6 to a line, with little pics. I have recently decided the category list looks better on the left hand side so went to remove the categories that are in the middle. For the life of me, I cannot figure out how I put them there in the first place!! I have tried a variety of settings to get them removed, but cannot seem to figure it out. Please help.
Thank you!!
