Okay so create a button-group for each of the sets of buttons you need.
Hide them all by calling their hide() methods. As each set of buttons
is needed, call its show() method (after re-positioning it if necessary
by calling its move() method). There should be no need to keep creating
and destroying widgets to achieve what you want.

Many of the gui elements you will be using inherit from QWidget (which
provides the three methods mentioned above). Its quite important to
familiarize yourself with Qt's documentation for this class:

The documentation also contains lots of good tutorials and howtos. One
in particular which might help you is this:

You might also want to visit the excellent Qt forum, which is possibly
more geared towards the sorts of questions you are asking. You can find
it here:
