Since v9.10 it's very easy to do this. Simply add this
fusion_remove_hook() function to /themes/YOUR_CURRENT_THEME/theme.php.
This is what you need to add
fusion_remove_hook('home_modules', 'blog_home_module');
fusion_remove_hook('home_modules', 'downloads_home_module');
fusion_remove_hook('home_modules', 'news_home_module');
For articles is this hook
fusion_remove_hook('home_modules', 'articles_home_module');
I assume this will be next question.. So if you add also this
PHPFusion\HomePage::setLimit(3);, you can set number of items displayed on homepage. Default is 3. In Magazine theme this code is already added in Magazine/templates/homepage.php.
