Usually you simply remove the fragment from it.

For example do something like

getFragmentManager().beginTransaction().remove(getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.your_container)).commit();

this will remove the fragment from the your_container holding it.

This gets the fragment currently present in your_container

getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.your_container)

and this remove the fragment

getFragmentManager().beginTransaction().remove(fragment).commit();

EDIT

Also sometimes it is useful to ensure all transactions are performed and finished, this can be done by using

getFragmentManager().executePendingTransactions();
