I want to remove the sidebar from certain custom post type (without CSS).

It depends on your theme files, for example your custom post type is using slug "my-cpt", you can try these:
1) Copy theme file "single.php", save it as "single-my-cpt.php"

2) Edit file "single-my-cpt.php", find and remove the PHP codes of sidebar.
