Pyqt5 how can I remove Qlabel after adding them several times


I am trying to make a card game. After 1 game, I need to clear QLabel to start new game.
Following is the summery that I am debugging.

I want to clear all QLabel with QPushButton operation. But actually I could remove only the last Qlabel. Rest of QLabel still stay.
How Can I remove all QLabel?

class Main(QMainWindow):
    
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        
        #overall layout
        layout = QVBoxLayout()
        self.setStyleSheet("background-color:white")                
        self.card_layout6 = QHBoxLayout()   
        
        self.card_w6 = QLabel() 
        self.card_w6.setPixmap(QPixmap("card.bmp"))
        self.card_layout6.addWidget(self.card_w6)
        layout.addLayout(self.card_layout6)
        
        bt1_layout = QtWidgets.QGridLayout()
        bt1_layout.setContentsMargins(0,0,0,20)
        layout.addLayout(bt1_layout)
        self.setGeometry(500, 100, 330, 200)  
        
        height = 800
        width = 800
        self.setFixedHeight(height)
        self.setFixedWidth(width)
        
        self.request_bt = QPushButton("add card")
        self.request_bt.setStyleSheet("background-color:lightblue")        
        self.request_bt.clicked.connect(self.add_card_layout6)
        bt1_layout.addWidget(self.request_bt,0,0)
        
        
        # Pushbutton for card removal 
        remove_bt = QPushButton("card reomve")
        remove_bt.setStyleSheet("background-color:pink")        
        bt1_layout.addWidget(remove_bt,3,0)
        remove_bt.clicked.connect(self.card_removal)
        
        #overall layout        
        self.container = QWidget()
        self.container.setLayout(layout)
        self.setCentralWidget(self.container)       
        self.show()
        
    def add_card_layout6(self):  
        global card_w6
        self.card_w6 = QLabel() 
        self.card_w6.setPixmap(QPixmap("card.bmp"))
        self.card_layout6.addWidget(self.card_w6)
     
    def card_removal(self):
         self.card_w6.clear()
            

Solution

  • Create a list of your QLabels like self.cards = [] and add self.cards.append(card_w6) to it.

    QObject::deleteLater()
    Schedules this object for deletion.
    The object will be deleted when control returns to the event loop.
