Solution

`<remove name="block.name" />`

in your layout.xml

Problem

I have changed magento signup page layout from `1column.phtml` to `2columns-left.phtml` in `customer.xml`. I need to display only one block on my magento Signup page left panel. All other blocks should be removed from the page. Currently I am getting three magento's default blocks on my left panel with my custom block. How to remove other blocks using xml? Anyone Please help.
