Try this:

var c ='<div class="main"><div class="child1"> text 1</div><div class="child1"> text 2</div><div class="child2"> text 2</div></div>';
var $c = $(c); //Get the JQ object to a var
$c.find('.child2').remove(); //Remove it from there
c = $c.html(); //Get back the html

Unfortunately

$(c).find('.child2').remove() wont remove it at source as it is not in DOM and is just a string. So you need to get the object to a temp variable and then remove it from that and get back the html string out of it.

Without jquery:

var tempDiv = document.createElement('div');
var c ='<div class="main"><div class="child1"> text 1</div><div class="child1"> text 2</div><div class="child2"> text 2</div></div>';
var removableChild = tempDiv.getElementsByClassName("child2")[0];
removableChild.parentElement.removeChild(removableChild);
var c = tempDiv.innerHTML;

Use $.parseHTML first then remove

var c ='<div class="main"><div class="child1"> text 1</div><div class="child1"> text 2</div><div class="child2"> text 2</div></div>';
c=$.parseHTML(c);
$(c).find('.child2').remove();
console.log($(c));
