Answer 1

I had a similar case where I have a QVBoxLayout containing dynamically created QHBoxLayout objects containing a number of QWidget instances. For some reason I couldn't get rid of the widgets either by deleting neither the top level QVBoxLayout or the individual QHBoxLayouts. The only solution I got to work was by going through the hierarchy and removing and deleting everything specifically:

while(!vbox->isEmpty()) {
    QLayout *hb = vbox->takeAt(0)->layout();
    while(!hb->isEmpty()) {
        QWidget *w = hb->takeAt(0)->widget();
        delete w;
    }
    delete hb;
}
