To remove all the subviews from any view, you can iterate over the subviews and send each a removeFromSuperview call:

// With some valid UIView *view:
for(UIView *subview in [view subviews]) {
    [subview removeFromSuperview];
}

This is entirely unconditional, though, and will get rid of all subviews in the given view. If you want something more fine-grained, you could take any of several different approaches:

  • Maintain your own arrays of views of different types so you can send them removeFromSuperview messages later in the same manner
  • Retain all your views where you create them and hold on to pointers to those views, so you can send them removeFromSuperview individually as necessary
  • Add an if statement to the above loop, checking for class equality. For example, to only remove all the UIButtons (or custom subclasses of UIButton) that exist in a view, you could use something like:
// Again, valid UIView *view:
for(UIView *subview in [view subviews]) {
    if([subview isKindOfClass:[UIButton class]]) {
        [subview removeFromSuperview];
    } else {
        // Do nothing - not a UIButton or subclass instance
    }
}

This was of tremendous help to me. Thanks!

To add to what Tim said, I noticed that you are tagging your views. If you wanted to remove a view with a certain tag you could use:

[[myScrollView viewWithTag:myButtonTag] removeFromSuperview];
