You need to remove all the applets, one by one, before you are allowed
to delete a panel.

What you could also probably do, is not touch the panel at all, but
simply prevent it from loading in the first place.
To do that, go to System->Preferencex->Sessions, the click on the
"current session" tab. Locate the line the loads gnome-panel, click on
it, then click "remove", then "apply".
Then next time you log-in, the panel should not load anymore.
