I am trying to delete and add JPanels through code but when I delete a panel with remove() nothing happens.

JPanel currentJPanel = panel.getOrderLinePanel();
            
currentJPanel.removeAll();
orderLinePanels.remove(panel);
remove(currentJPanel);
revalidate();
repaint();

I have checked the ID of the JPanel which gets assisgned to currentJPanel and it is the same as the one I am trying to delete. removeAll() works but the remove() does nothing.

From a code wise perspective everything should work as expected (assuming that this code is inside a class that JComponent). Are you sure that the panel isn't getting deleted ? You can check the component count of the container by using getComponentCount().
Does the number of components change ?

i suggest you remove current jpanel visibility before removing it like

currentJpanel.setVisible(false);
remove(currentJPanel)
