There is a method getComponents() which will give you the child component in JFrame

you will use it like this way:

Component[] comp = frame.getContentPane().getComponents();
for(int i=0; i<comp.lenght; i++)
{
    if(comp[i] instanceof JPanel)
    {
        frame.remove(comp[i]);
    }
}

Note: this fix only works when you have single JPanel inside JFrame at a time, otherwise you gonna remove all your JPanels from JFrame.
