Solution 2

Call Remove() to remove tabs from the tab control.
Calling Dispose() will not remove the tab.

In general, Dispose() should always be called after Remove() to allow memory resources to be cleared up.

try this

MIDL

// Removes the selected tab:
tabControl1.TabPages.Remove(tabControl1.SelectedTab);
// Removes all the tabs:
tabControl1.TabPages.Clear();

Exact use of Dispose methord
Use this method to close or release unmanaged resources such as files, streams, and handles held by an instance of the class

When, How, Where and Why to use Dispose[^]
