Deleting widgets from pyqt

class Window(QtGui.QMainWindow):
  def __init__(self):
    super(Window, self).__init__()
    self.tabs()

  def home(self):
    df = QtGui.QPushButton('hello', self)
    df.show()

  def series(self):
    df = QtGui.QCheckBox('hello', self)
    df.show()   

  def tabs(self):
    btn_home = QtGui.QPushButton(QtGui.QIcon('home.png'), 'Home', self)
    btn_home.clicked.connect(self.home)

    btn_series = QtGui.QPushButton(QtGui.QIcon('series.png'),'Series', self)
    btn_series.clicked.connect(self.series)

    self.show()

def run():
    app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
    GUI = Window()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

if __name__ == '__main__': run()

I wanted to delete the widgets shown from home module when i click series button and delete widgets from series module when i click home button. So far whats happening is when i click series button he previous widgets from home module are still there.

My version is

self.main_canvas.children().remove(cogmapui)
cogmapui.deleteLater()

I checked it by putting a print("Deleted") in the cogmapui's __del__ function and, yes, it gets called.
