Use modern JS!

const div = document.getElementById("div2");
div.remove();

or just

document.getElementById("div2").remove()

You need to find div2 parent and then you can use removeChild to remve div2 

var list=document.getElementById("div2");
var parentDiv = list.parentNode;
parentDiv.removeChild(list);

Demo

Problem in your code

list.removeChild("div2"")); <<== ") is additional

you have double quotes and double braces at the end. And I'm not sure what you're trying to do. If you'd like to remove element with the id "div2", use:

var list=document.getElementById("div2");
list.parentNode.removeChild(list);
