I am creating a program that has the function that a checkbox is deleted when it toggled. But when I click the delete button it is not deleted from my scroll area.
I have tried some solutions, but I still have problems on it. An the below code is the best condition I managed until now.

It took me a while to find a solution that worked with my issue, but I finally arrived to the solution below presented, based on: What is best way to remove items from layout in pyqt
def remove_element(self, support_layout, element_to_remove, control_list_name):
"""
This function aims to remove selected elements that are contained in a
widget.
Parameters
----------
support_layout : QtWigget Layout
Layout that supports the object that will be removed
element_to_remove : list with QtWidget
A list with Qtwidget items that ones whant to remove.
control_list_name : list with strings
A list with Qtwidget added items string name
Returns
-------
None.
"""
for i in reversed(range(support_layout.count()-1)):
if element_to_remove[i].isChecked():
# Remove checkbox from frame
item = support_layout.takeAt(i)
widget = item.widget()
widget.deleteLater()
# Remove list selected items
control_list_name.remove(element_to_remove[i].text())
element_to_remove.remove(element_to_remove[i])
With this function my problem was solved I am able to follow my project.
