Spry and Empty Content

Hello everyone. I am using spry accordion as a navigational menu and was wondering if it was possible to remove content panel without having to remove the panel all together? I have been able to remove it by editing the code but when I do, the other panels all become expanded automatically. Is there a safe way to remove a panel's content area without removing the panel itself (i.e. Panel 1 -- Content 1 ---> Panel 1 only).
