in thread Tk tearoff toplevel IDs

The reason I want to destroy it in the program is that the menu that it's holding is repeatedly updated with new items, or with different items, and there are times when it must be completed cleared of all items. When it's been torn off, then after all the menu items are deleted, you just have this tiny little window with the Title Banner shrunk down to minimum size. It all pops back up when new items are added to the menu, but in the mean time, it looks ugly -- kind of like a shrivelled up old balloon.
