None of the existing answers worked in my application. A modification to Darko Maksimovic's appears to work, so far. Here it is:

void clearLayout(QLayout* layout, bool deleteWidgets = true)
{
    while (QLayoutItem* item = layout->takeAt(0))
    {
        QWidget* widget;
        if (  (deleteWidgets)
              && (widget = item->widget())  ) {
            delete widget;
        }
        if (QLayout* childLayout = item->layout()) {
            clearLayout(childLayout, deleteWidgets);
        }
        delete item;
    }
}

It was necessary, at least with my hierarchy of widgets and layouts, to recurse and to delete widgets explicity.
