How to remove bullets from widget

I created a custom theme for my wordpress blog, and my widgets keep showing up in an unordered list form. I didn't program my widgets to appear this way. And I can't figure out how to remove the bullets from my widgets.

I tried editing the widgets.php file in the wp-includes folder by removing the beforewiget and afterwidget parameters but that doesn't seem to do the trick. I took a look at my source code and this is what's wrapped around the widgets.

li id="categories-3" class="widget widget_categories"h2 class="widgettitle"Categories/h2
        ul
    li class="cat-item cat-item-4"a href="http://www.bignotch.com/category/big-notch-updates/" title="View all posts filed under Big Notch Updates"Big Notch Updates/a (20)
/li
    li class="cat-item cat-item-5"a href="http://www.bignotch.com/category/music_news/" title="View all posts filed under Music News"Music News/a (50)
/li
    li class="cat-item cat-item-6"a href="http://www.bignotch.com/category/ramblings/" title="View all posts filed under Ramblings"Ramblings/a (43)
/li
    li class="cat-item cat-item-7"a href="http://www.bignotch.com/category/site-news/" title="View all posts filed under Site News"Site News/a (14)
/li
    li class="cat-item cat-item-8"a href="http://www.bignotch.com/category/stuff-i-like/" title="View all posts filed under Stuff I Like"Stuff I Like/a (25)
/li
        /ul
/li

So it looks like "catorgories 3" is what is making this a list. Is this something that is set in the wordpress files? can I modify it and set list-style to "none" through my theme css?

How do you want your widgets to show (if not list form - what) and can you show the code that you mention using to adjust them ("I didn't program my widgets to appear this way")?

see widgets_init()

If you want the bullet points to disappear, simply edit your themes style.css file. If you use a debugging tool you can find exactly where in style.css to edit. As you say, set list-style to none (though you might want to specify a class to ensure it doesn't effect lists where you do want bullet points.
