one possible approach:<BR>
in your code call drupal_set_content('mycustomregion', $content_here);<BR>
implement hook_preprocess_page in your module and set $vars['left'] = $vars['mycustomregion']; - substitute left for the region you're trying to empty - if this has to work with all themes you might need to be creative with it and fetch the list of regions for the theme but that's another can or worms.<BR>
if you're calling drupal_set_content in your preprocess_page hook you'll need to use drupal_get_content (see template_preprocess_page).<BR>
disclaimer: untested approach<BR>
