I'm trying to incorporate a 'back button' in my Tkinter app in my 'second_home' to allow the user to return to the previous page - from second_home to home. I've incorporated a hide_frames() function to allow all the frames to disappear when called. I have this done on the second_home but I've commented out the function on the home function - the app won't run with the function called. I also have the home function called when launching the app.
When clicking on the back button titled "Previous Page" I receive the error 'TclError: bad window path name ".!labelframe.!canvas'

TclError: bad window path name ".!labelframe.!canvas'means that you're trying to use a widget after it has been destroyed. Once you destroy a widget, it is no longer usable. - Bryan Oakley
