    Either
    frame.dispose();
    or
    frame.setVisible(false);

    The first will actually dispose of the JFrame and all of its components, the second just make it invisible if you ever want to make it visible again during the duration of the program.

    Make sure that the frame you are trying to dispose of exists and is running:

    if (frame != null)
    {
         frame.dispose();
    }
