NOTE: This is a code I used in a previous question for different reasons.
I have created a window that contains a table(frame) with Entry widgets, Label widgets, checkbox widgets and button widgets using for-loops. The window also has two buttons (outside the table) that allow the user to either insert new rows or delete them. This works fine.
However, the function that inserts a new row updated the widget dictionary, while the other function(delete row function) does not update the widget dictionary. I added print(_entry) at the end of both functions for you to see the difference
I do no know why it does not update it. I have tried by adding a return inside the delete() function, but it does not seem to be working.
I'd very much appreciate your help on this

Calling .grid_remove() will only remove the widget from the MMI and the widget still exists in the dictionary.
You can use .pop(index) to remove and return the widget from the dictionary, and then call .destroy() to destroy the widget.
