Wordpress - remove metadata from Posts

Hi

I'm building a site for a business and need to remove the date, author, comment numbers, etc. from posts when they are displayed, as the posts dictate the images on the homepage (so they need to be present but not look like blog posts).

Can anyone tell me what I need to delete from single.php to prevent this metadata from being displayed?

(Can post the single.php if needed).

Thanks

Code is: -

 get_header(); ?>

<div class="section-container clearfix">

<div class="<?php echo $layout;?> text">

	<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
		
        <p class="breadcrumb"><?php the_breadcrumb(); ?></p>
                
		<h1 class="index-title"><?php the_title(); ?> <?php edit_post_link('Edit',' / ',''); ?></h1>        
            
        <div <?php post_class('section single') ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
    
            <ul class="meta">          
               <li class="meta-time"><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?></li>
               <li class="meta-comment"><?php comments_popup_link('Leave a comment &#187;', 'One comment so far &#187;', '% comments &#187;'); ?></li>
            </ul>
            
            <?php the_content('Continue reading &raquo;'); ?>
	
			<?php wp_link_pages(array('before' => '<p><strong>Pages:</strong> ', 'after' => '</p>', 'next_or_number' => 'number')); ?>
        
            <div class="navigation clearfix">
                <div class="alignleft"><?php previous_post_link('<p>&laquo; Previous Post</p><p>%link</p>') ?></div>
                <div class="alignright"><?php next_post_link('<p>Next Post &raquo;</p><p>%link</p>') ?></div>
            </div>	
        
            <div id="comments" class="comments">
                <?php comments_template('/comments.php',true); ?>
            </div>
	
		</div><!--Post Ends -->
        
</div><!-- Layout Ends -->


<div class="aside aside-right-image-<?php echo $layout; ?>">
	<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { ?>
        <?php the_post_thumbnail('single-image'); ?>
    <?php } ?>
	<?php if (strlen($aboutpost) > 0) { ?><h3><?php echo $aboutpost; ?></h3> <?php } else { ?><h3>About this post</h3><?php } ?>	
		<ul>
        	<li class="meta-category">Posted in <?php the_category(', '); ?></li>
		   	<?php the_tags('<li class="meta-tag">Tags: ', ', ', '</li>'); ?>
		</ul>
</div>


<?php endwhile; endif; ?>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

</div>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Thank you. The metadata doesn't appear on the Homepage, so all good there. :)

I've made the change to single.php but when viewing the Post page, you can still see the path to the post above the post: -

Bartholomew » Uncategorized » Post 2

and

Previous Post, Next Post and "comments are closed" caption, as attached screenshot.

Is this editable from single.php also?

Dzynit,

Deleted the code you advised and it's looking much better, thanks. The only thing left is the lower white area where it says 'comments are closed'. Any thoughts..?

(jeremyjared74: - many thanks for your input)
