I've checked How can I remove a JPanel from a JFrame? but when I tried to do frame.remove(mainScreen) the whole thing just froze. I also tried mainScreen.setVisible(false); but that showed the balls but they were static (they should move).

// important variables
        FlowLayout fL = new FlowLayout();

        // create frame
        JFrame frame = new JFrame("Ball");
        frame.setTitle("GaoMolecules");
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        frame.setSize(500,500);
        frame.setResizable(false);

        Rectangle fDim = frame.getBounds(); // frameDimensions



        // add panel to frame
        JPanel mainScreen = new JPanel();
        mainScreen.setLayout(fL);
        fL.setAlignment(FlowLayout.TRAILING);


        frame.add(mainScreen);

        // other panel components   
        JTextField numBallsField = new JTextField(4);
        JLabel numBallsLabel = new JLabel("Enter the number of balls to generate");
        JButton startButton = new JButton("START");

        mainScreen.add(numBallsLabel);
        mainScreen.add(numBallsField);
        mainScreen.add(startButton);    


        // add listener to button
        startButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
        {
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
            {
                //System.out.println("Button Working!");
                mainScreen.setVisible(false);
                frame.add(new DrawManager());
                start = true;
            }
        });

        // this needs to be the very LAST
        frame.setVisible(true);

Any time you do a remove(), you should call

  frame.validate();
  frame.repaint();
