I need to delete a widget, example:

    button1 = Button(root, text="start", command=self.cc).pack()

How do I make another widget which has the command to delete button1? or even just a function which when called, deletes button1.

I couldnt find the answer any where :/

there is another similar question (How to delete Tkinter widgets from a window?) BUT its 8 years old so the solutions may be outdated

Every widget has a function called destroy() and you can call it from another button-command, like this:

import tkinter as tk 


root = tk.Tk()

button = tk.Button(root,text="Btn1")
button.grid(row=0,column=0)
button2 = tk.Button(root,text="Delete",command=button.destroy)
button2.grid(row=1,column=0)
    
root.mainloop()

If you want to destroy all widgets inside a frame or "root", you can use a function called winfo_children which selects all children widgets and then with a loop destroy each of them:

def destroyall():
    for widget in root.winfo_children():
            widget.destroy()

button3 = tk.Button(root,text="Delete All",command=destroyall)
button3.grid(row=2,column=0)
