I guess it is because when you delete an item, its children items are 
deleted too.

I delete all items from the scene (keeping a particular one) as:

     def __clearAll(self):
         """
         Clear the print preview window, remove all items
         but and keep the page.
         """
         itemlist = self.scene.items()
         keep = self.page
         while (len(itemlist) != 1):
             if itemlist.index(keep) == 0:
                 self.scene.removeItem(itemlist[1])
             else:
                 self.scene_.removeItem(itemlist[0])
             itemlist = self.scene.items()

I hope that helps.
