Edit: This only applies to Sitefinity 3.x
It depends on how far you want to go with the clean up.
If you want to simply disabled a module this can be done through the web.config look for the section:
Simply remove the module from there and Sitefinity won’t load the module.
Optional
The next steps are completely optional, but will fully remove a module.
Then to go further you could delete the dlls from the Bin folder that represent the modules eg Telerik.Blogs and Telerik.Blogs.Data are for the Blogs module and all the module are named in this manner.
Search for any references to the module in the web.config: eg in the sections
Then as a further clean up depending on what version of Sitefinity you are using and what module you are using.
Some modules can’t be removed though like Images and Documents and Generic Content as they are integral in the CMS Pages
I just found also that Telerik have a knowledgebase article on this.
