It looks to me like you have opened the Tabs panel and it shows all its controls. But to see the tabs in the text you're displaying, you need to select the paragraphs of the text for which you want to view or change the tab settings.

Bro (!), you don't drag tabs out. You click in the ruler where you want them.*

And they are paragraph based bro, so if you need them applied to several lines/paragraphs you will have to select those first. Better: use Paragraph styles, that's the way bro.

But you can easier work with tables than tabbed lists here bro!

*As in your screenshot, there are no tabs set at all, so, logicaly there is nothing to delete. But you see the hidden blue tabs in the text itself. Delete those. You can use Find/Replace for that bro!
