How to customize this wordpress page?

I am trying to make few changes in a wordpress page. I am able to remove few things like author name and “read more” from the page but I think I have reached my limit and can’t customize more. Here is the screenshot of the page :

I want to remove the no results found and and comment below that. Tried to understand the code but unable to do it. Here is the code of the page :

<?php 
/*
Template Name: Blog Page
*/
?>
<?php 
$et_ptemplate_settings = array();
$et_ptemplate_settings = maybe_unserialize( get_post_meta($post->ID,'et_ptemplate_settings',true) );

$fullwidth = isset( $et_ptemplate_settings['et_fullwidthpage'] ) ? (bool) $et_ptemplate_settings['et_fullwidthpage'] : false;

$et_ptemplate_blogstyle = isset( $et_ptemplate_settings['et_ptemplate_blogstyle'] ) ? (bool) $et_ptemplate_settings['et_ptemplate_blogstyle'] : false;

$et_ptemplate_showthumb = isset( $et_ptemplate_settings['et_ptemplate_showthumb'] ) ? (bool) $et_ptemplate_settings['et_ptemplate_showthumb'] : false;

$blog_cats = isset( $et_ptemplate_settings['et_ptemplate_blogcats'] ) ? (array) $et_ptemplate_settings['et_ptemplate_blogcats'] : array();
$et_ptemplate_blog_perpage = isset( $et_ptemplate_settings['et_ptemplate_blog_perpage'] ) ? (int) $et_ptemplate_settings['et_ptemplate_blog_perpage'] : 10;
?>

    <?php get_header(); ?>

    <?php if (!$fullwidth) get_sidebar(); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Can anyone please help me to make changes in this code to remove the unnecessary part of the page?
