pack forget and grid forget will only remove widgets from view  it doesn t destroy them  If you don t plan on re-using the widgets  your only real choice is to destroy them with the destroy method   To do that you have two choices  destroy each one individually  or destroy the frame which will cause all of its children to be destroyed  The latter is generally the easiest and most effective    Since you claim you don t want to destroy the container frame  create a secondary frame  Have this secondary frame be the container for all the widgets you want to delete  and then put this one frame inside the parent you do not want to destroy  Then  it s just a matter of destroying this one frame and all of the interior widgets will be destroyed along with it

For clear frame  first need to destroy all widgets inside the frame   it will clear frame  import tkinter as tk from tkinter import   root   tk Tk    frame   Frame root  frame pack side  quot top quot   expand True  fill  quot both quot    lab   Label frame  text  quot hiiii quot   lab grid row 0  column 0  padx 10  pady 5   def clearFrame          destroy all widgets from frame     for widget in frame winfo children           widget destroy              this will clear frame and frame will be empty       if you want to hide the empty panel then     frame pack forget    frame but   Button frame  text  quot clear frame quot   command clearFrame  frame but grid row 0  column 1  padx 10  pady 5     then whenever you add data in frame then you can show that frame lab2   Label frame  text  quot hiiii quot   lab2 grid row 1  column 0  padx 10  pady 5  frame pack   root mainloop
