To get a widget from a QLayout, you have to call its itemAt(index) method. As the name of this method implies, it will return an item instead of a widget. Calling widget() on the result will finally give you the widget:

myWidget = self.myLayout.itemAt(index).widget()

To remove a widget, set the parent widget to None:

myWidget.setParent(None)

Also really helpfull is the QLayout count() method. To find and delete all contents of a layout:

index = myLayout.count()
while(index >= 0):
    myWidget = myLayout.itemAt(index).widget()
    myWidget.setParent(None)
    index -=1
