If 'labels is a collection "this.Controls.Remove(labels)" does not make sense. There are other reasons the name 'labels may not exist in the scope of where you call it.

Show the code where you define 'labels. Remember we can't see your code/screen.

It might be because of the "this" keyword, inside the button click event handler "this" refers to the button object, where as when you added the lables in page load event "this" refers the page object.

this might help you :
