A couple of ways. Easiest would be to just remove the web-demo*.jar from WEB-INF/lib. However if you need some of the other demos and just want to disasble the map preview, the link for it is registered int the spring context applictionContext.xml file in the web-demo module:
https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/blob/master/src/web/demo/src/main/java/applicationContext.xml
You would need to comment out the “layerListDemo2” bean. Easiest way would probably be to unjar the web-demo jar, edit the applictionContext.xml and jar it back up.
And finally there is also an extension point in geoserver that allows one to filter out existing components, called ExtensionFilter.
https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/blob/master/src/platform/src/main/java/org/geoserver/platform/ExtensionFilter.java
With that you could also add your own plugin that would disable the layer preview.

Hey list,
I try to change the look of the “log in” or “welcome” page
(http://localhost:8080/geoserver/web/). My goal is to remove the “layer
preview” from the sidebar.
I didn’t thought it is that complicated to me (also the whole “Wicket”-stuff
is new to me)…
I looked into the different web-…-2.1.1.jar files
(GS-HOME/webapps/geoserver/WEB-INF/lib/). The only thing I found was the
MapPreviewPage.html not but the html.code for the sidebar.
If my understanding is right there must some html-file which contain the
sidebar-structure for logged out and logged in users. And if I delete the
wicket-id of the “layer preview”-link it should be gone in the welcome page.
Well I hope someone can push me into the right direction,
Albert
