Nearly everything that has Add, also has Remove. What to make sure? Please see:

Now, what's wrong with your ability to read the documentation? Perhaps you need one more link:

You need to keep references to the Grids until you want to delete them. (The Grids keep the references to the Buttons.)

For your example, create a private field in the window class:

C#

private List<Grid> DynamicGrids = new List<Grid>();

Then add:

C#

DynamicGrids.Add(gg);

to the for loop that creates the Grids and Buttons.
Then when you want to remove them:

C#

foreach (Grid g in DynamicGrids)
{
  ThumGrid.Children.Remove(g);
}

This assumes that ThumGrid contains other elements that you don't want to remove, otherwise it is simply:

C#

ThumGrid.Children.Clear();

Be careful not to Remove elements from ThumGrid.Children while iterating over that collection with an IEnumerator (e.g., foreach) or else you will throw an exception: System.InvalidOperationException.

Note that the children of the grid, is just another collection. The Add and Remove methods work just like any collection. Interesting thing is that the Remove needs a UIElement, so if you go through the collection with a foreach, you get an object, which needs to be converted to a UIElement in order to remove. The Clear method is obviously your best choise, but you can do a selective remove using the Remove method
