I think you have to, after removing the sidebar, set Sessions => Save As,
with a new name, e.g. 'NoSidebar' before doing File => Quit. Then that will
be the session loaded the next time, since you have 'Load last-used session'
active when you quit.

There are three session-related choices when I quit: Save, Delete, Cancel.
Cancel obviously isn't right, because that cancels the attempt to quit.
Save isn't right, because if I do that, the next time I open kate, it
remembers the text I type in 6, and also gives me the sidebar. So "delete"
was the only thing that made sense.
Feel free to tell me what I should have selected... but I've explicitly
tried both Save and Delete, and neither did the right thing.

But why did you want to delete the session which is remembering that you
don't want the sidebar to be displayed? Configuration of the Sessions feature in Kate
has always been
confusing (at least for you and me).
If you Click on Sessions => Select Session > how many sessions do you
see?
One (called "Unnamed").
In the image you posted, 'Behavior on
Application Exit or Session
Switch' at the bottom is set to 'Do not save session'; perhaps, though
you have created a new session, your session info was not saved into
it? You could change that to 'Ask user' to see if that helps.
I did that, and it changed things, although not really a help:
With "Do not save session" selected:
1. Open blank kate.
This has a sidebar with "Untitled" in it.
2. Change session configuration to: "Ask user".
3. Remove sidebar.
4. File | Quit
Asks me whether to save the session; click "Save".

5. Open blank kate.
No sidebar. Good. But...
6. Type some text.
7. File | Quit
Asks me whether to save the file.
I select yes, and give it a filename.
Asks me whether to save the session; click "Delete". Now that you know that the session is recording
that, you can change
'Ask user' to 'Save session' (it really means 'Re-save session')
and it
will remember it forever. 'Load last-used session' and 'Save session'
will do what you want.
OK, so, going back to the initial configuration, I execute:
1. Open blank kate.
This has a sidebar with "Untitled" in it.
2. Change session configuration to: "Ask user".
3. Remove sidebar.
4. File | Quit
Asks me whether to save the session; click "Save".
5. Open blank kate.
No sidebar. Good.
6. Change session configuration to "Save Session".
7. Check that session configuration says "Load last-used session". It does.
8. File | Quit
Kate immediately quits, with no questions.
9. Open blank kate.
This has a sidebar with "Untitled" in it.
So at what step did I do something different from what you think I should
do?
