Removing sidebar on category pages

category page flow (bottom to top) is like this:

category-slug.php
category-ID.php
category.php
archive.php
index.php

so you can not create compulsory category.php. open your current theme archive.php. and edit this code.

<?php 
     if( !is_category() ){
        get_sidebar();
      }
?>
