If the magento, there are many built-in features are not useful to you or to your customers you can always disable them via the admin interface by disabling their respective modules.

Wishlist is not one of them.

To remove all of the traces of the wishlist functionality you need to do the following:

1. Go to the Admin interface (select the appropriate scope) and under System -> Configuration -> Customers -> Whishlist select “No” under the “Enabled” in the General options.

This will remove all of the whishlist links in the magento blocks as well as the whishlist itself.

2. (your template name)/template/catalog/product/view/addto.phtml and remove the “pipe” character from that file so that it doesn’t disturb the looks of your site

3. Go to: System -> Configuration ->Advanced->Advanced and set disable “Mage_Whishlist”

That’s it. All Done!
