You can not delete all panels. The right way of doing this is to disable the panel from autostart.
Edit /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc , find the line to start xfce4-panel ,
Comment the start line out by placing a ‘#’ in front of it change the line containing:
- $panel –to–
- #$panel
that will prevent the panel from running .When you want to re-enable panel , just remove the # from that line.
