Try this.
@
int count = vlayout.count();
for(int i=0;i<count;i++) {

QLayoutItem *item = vlayout.itemAt(I)
vLayout.removeItem(item)
delete item;

}@

Ouch. No. Don't do that. When you delete item 0 item 1 becomes item 0. You advance to delete item 1 and leave item 0 where it was. When you arrive at (half+1) item the itemAt(i) refers beyond the children count and referencing it will crash.

The proper way is to either iterate backwards, deleting the last item or, like the OP did, delete first item until there are no left. that's what "the doc suggests":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qlayout.html#takeAt

You don't need to delete item and the widget separately. When you delete an item it will delete the widget.

As for the problem - I don't quite understand. What do you mean the layout takes more space? Can you give a simple example?
